If you’re always misplacing things or you’re someone who finds security in always knowing where your things are, then Bluetooth trackers are your savior. Apple’s AirTags have long reigned in popularity, but shoppers are now loving an alternative that beats them in price and overall design. According to one review, they even work “flawlessly with Apple’s Find My app.” 👀
Not only do they come with bright colors, making them easier to spot in the wild, but they’re a literal fraction of the price of Apple AirTags; right now, a four-pack costs the same amount as a single AirTag. Plus, you can clip the on-page $1.25 coupon, and you can knock a few coins off, so it’s even less than that.
This is a budget-friendly AirTag alternative with personality and functionality.
Unlike Apple’s AirTags, these smart Bluetooth trackers come in color, making them easier to spot (and hiding scuff marks much better) than Apple’s signature white color. A four-pack of these alternatives includes your basic black and white, but with the added flavor of blue and green. Strap the brighter colors to something you’re less likely to spot from far away, like a wallet or a set of keys, and you’ll see them much easier.
They work well with Apple’s “Find My” app, and you can ping them to emit a loud, clear sound for tracking purposes.
With a pack that includes four tiles for tracking various items, these Find My-compatible devices can be spotted on your iPhone and MacBook’s “Find My” app, making locating them even easier. If you need a quick way to find them, you can also ping them to emit a high-decibel noise you can hear from rooms away. One reviewer notes that the sound is “way louder than an AirTag.” We also did a little digging and while Apple doesn’t publicize the exact decibels of the AirTag alert, reviewers across the internet have estimated that it’s somewhere between 60 decibels (The Verge) and 78 (PCMag review). For comparison, these more affordable AirTracker is far more audible 150dB. Big difference.
“This upgraded Air Tracker Tag works flawlessly with Apple’s Find My app,” says one reviewer. “Setup was quick, and the Bluetooth 5.3 connection is super strong and reliable. I’ve used it on my keys and luggage, and it’s already saved me from losing them more than once.”
(Keep in mind that these Bluetooth trackers are iOS-only, so they won’t work with Android devices.)
Nab a 4-pack of these iOS-friendly Bluetooth trackers for the price of a single Apple AirTag today, and keep reading for promising reviews from other happy reviewers.

“I bought this 4-pack of Air Tracker Tags to keep track of my keys, luggage, and my dog’s collar — and they work perfectly! Setting them up with the Apple Find My app was quick and easy. The Bluetooth connection is strong, and the location updates are accurate.
The 120 dB sound alert is super loud, which makes it easy to find things even if they’re buried under clothes or furniture. I love that the pack comes in different colors, so I can tell which tracker belongs to which item at a glance.
I’ve already used it during a trip, and it gave me peace of mind knowing exactly where my suitcase was at all times. Overall, great value for the price — I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a reliable way to keep track of their stuff!” — Lisandra carmona
“Is super useful and reliable. It connects quickly to the Apple Find My app and works perfectly for tracking keys, wallets, backpacks, luggage, and even kids’ belongings.
The sound is loud and clear, even stronger than an AirTag, making it easy to locate items, even under blankets or inside bags. I love that it’s Apple MFI certified, with secure tracking and total privacy—no one else can see where my items are. Plus, you can share the tracker with family members without any hassle.
Its lightweight, sleek design and replaceable battery make it even better. A practical and affordable option I highly recommend. Definitely 5 stars!” — Felibeth Perez / MyLovelyCraft

A 4-pack of super lightweight silicone key chain holders
About $1.50 a piece, this 4-pack of silicone holders is well worth its budget price, letting you add a Bluetooth tracker to your keys, pet's collar, bag and so much more.
Promising review: "Great product for a great price! The colors help identify whose it is, makes them easier to see, they’re super easy to use by just popping the AirTag in, but it fits securely and doesn’t even attempt to fall out!" — rbnyrk
A lightweight Bluetooth tracker wallet holder
This handy wallet holder can hold a single Bluetooth tracker snugly in your wallet. It's smaller than a traditional credit card and it's flexible, making it a perfect fit for various wallet types.
Promising review: "I bought a different holder that proved to be too thick and rigid for my wallet. I can use that one with a different air tag for an alternate purpose. This one works better for my “back pocket” wallet. (So far, no problems with the air tag falling out)." — Ctexhowlin
Or a Belkin secure holder with a wire cable
Shopping editor Marquaysa Battle has written about this high-quality, locking AirTag holder before, noting "Reviewers love it because you can enclose the AirTag inside it, loop it around and lock it closed on everything from luggage to purses to keychains and beyond. Several reviewers noted that out of all the AirTag holders on the market, the locking aspect of this one is so tight, you actually need a small tool to get it open or closed."
“I use this holder to secure my Airtag inside of my luggage,” reviewer, Josh, noted. “The allen-head screw makes it hard to remove without the tool as a deterrent to theft by a shady TSA or airport employee. A must-have!
Promising reviews: "I really like how nice these look and how well they show off the airtag. I did not expect them to be nearly as durable though! i have put these on my keys which get tossed around and also on my luggage and they show no sign of cracking or coming lose. They may be a bit pricier than other options but these really feel like the premium choice." — Ame
"I've bought two of these and have never regretted it. These are the only cases I have bought and will buy for my AirTags. I don't trust the ones you can pop in and out, having the locking screw system gives me the peace of mind my tags won't go missing. Easy to use and durable. They have never accidentally come open and that's what it's designed to do." — Amber
Or a leather holder than conceals the tag
Promising reviews: "This was a great item for my son, who is always leaving his keys somewhere. The design is not 'attention-seeking' so he didn’t mind putting it on his key chain. The material and the quality is very good for holding up to rough handlers with keys. It was very easy to insert the apple tag and it holds it securely. It is not bulky. It protects the apple tag very well. I bought the black one so it doesn’t stand out. I would definitely recommend for all and is worth the money." — Pamela Rayfield
"This was perfect for the air tag and it looks like a key chain instead of an air tag holder. I had one that showed the air tag and was worried it would either fall out or get stolen. This covers both of those issues. And as a bonus, it is a very nice leather and looks great." — THans
