I found a wallet tracker that works as well as an AirTag – and it’s much cheaper

What’s the deal?

The SwitchBot Wallet Tracker Card, and it’s made it hard to return to other options.

This tracker resembles a thick credit card, so it seamlessly fits any wallet that can fit standard cards. At only 2.5 mm, it’s slightly thicker than a coin but much thinner than an Apple AirTag, which is 8mm thick. 

One thing to note, however, is that the SwitchBot Wallet Tracker Card only works with the Apple Find My network, so it’s incompatible with Android devices. It’s like the AirTag version of a wallet tracker, but not made by Apple.

The truth is that many third-party trackers compatible with the Apple Find My network aren’t as reliable as the Apple AirTag. This SwitchBot Wallet Tracker Card isn’t like that.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well this third-party tracker worked with the Find My network and how close its performance was to AirTag’s. The tracker worked successfully each time I tested it, and each time I misplaced my wallet. Furthermore, its loss prevention feature was reliable each time, alerting me with a phone notification from the Find My app every single time I left my wallet behind.

has a hole in one corner and includes a strap to hold it easily or attach it to different items. It’s also cheaper than an AirTag, which makes it even better.
