“Not published” means we couldn't find the figure on the maker's own site, so we haven't guessed.

⚖️ Who should pick which
🍎 AirTag if…
- Everyone in your house is on iPhone
- You want the on-screen arrow to your keys (Precision Finding, iPhone 15 or later)
- You like the official price: A$49 at Apple AU
- Heads-up: there's no keyring hole, so budget for a holder14
🍬 Chipolo POP if…
- You're on Android — or might switch one day (Find My or Find Hub, one at a time)
- You want it loud (~120 dB listed)
- You're happy swapping a coin cell about once a year
- IP55 is enough — it's splash-proof, not a swimmer
🐝 Pebblebee Clip 5 if…
- You'd rather charge over USB-C than buy coin cells
- You want LEDs to spot it in the dark
- You're on Android or iPhone (one network per tag)
- You don't mind ordering from Pebblebee's site and waiting on overseas shipping
🔷 Tile Pro if…
- Your household is a mix of iPhone and Android and you want everyone in the same app
- You want the toughest rating here (IP68) and the longest listed range (152 m)
- You like the built-in SOS button
- Know this: no precision finding, and stalker checks are a manual scan
Mixed household? Chipolo and Pebblebee can work with either phone, but each tag joins one network at a time — an iPhone owner and an Android owner can't both track the same tag in their own apps. Tile works across both through the Tile / Life360 app.
