Tom's Guide's best alternative key finder: it works on Apple's or Google's network, has the loudest alarm in its guide (120 dB) and free left-behind alerts. Range was only about 35 feet in testing, there's no ultra-wideband, and about 1 in 5 Amazon ratings are 1 or 2 stars. Wirecutter has just named it a new Android pick but hasn't published test results.
Subscription: None: out-of-range alerts are included free (Tom's Guide)
Top complaints
- Short range
Tom's Guide's tested range was about 35 feet against a listed 300, on the shorter end of trackers it has tested.
- Mixed connectivity and tracking
Amazon's summary says connectivity, location tracking and value are mixed, and some owners say the call-your-phone feature doesn't work on iPhones.
- No ultra-wideband; a bit bigger than an AirTag
Tom's Guide lists no ultra-wideband support and a 1.53-inch body slightly larger than the AirTag.

What owners love

Tom's Guide says it pairs with Apple Find My or Google Find Hub, so it suits Android and iPhone users alike; Amazon owners also praise compatibility.
- Loudest alarm
Rated at 120 dB, the loudest in Tom's Guide's guide; its reviewer had no trouble hearing it over background noise.
