Quick Verdict

The Tile Mate is the best Bluetooth tracker for anyone not fully invested in the Apple ecosystem. It works equally well on Android and iOS, has a year-long replaceable battery, and its 250m range leads the category.

Why Tile Over AirTag?

If you use Android or switch between Android and iPhone, Tile wins. The AirTag is technically superior within Apple's Find My network, but Tile's cross-platform support is a genuine advantage.

Range & Accuracy

250m in open air. In practice through walls, expect 50-80m — still enough to find items anywhere in a house. The ring is loud enough to locate under sofa cushions or inside bags.

Battery

User-replaceable CR1632 battery rated for 1 year. Better than waiting for a manufacturer to replace a non-removable cell.

Community Find

Tile's network updates item locations when other Tile app users come nearby. Smaller than Apple's Find My network, but adequate in urban UK areas.

Who Should Buy This?

Android users, mixed-platform households, and anyone wanting a simple, affordable tracker that just works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tile Mate vs Apple AirTag — which is better?
AirTag is better for iPhone users due to the larger Find My network. Tile Mate is better for Android users or mixed-platform households.
Can you track in real-time?
No — location only updates when another Tile app user passes near your item. It is not a real-time GPS tracker.
How loud is the ring?
Loud enough to find in a bag or under sofa cushions — audible from several metres away in a quiet room.
