Two subscription-free Bluetooth tags. The Tile Mate is the cheaper of the pair and runs about 1,095 days — roughly three years — so you can fit it and forget it. The AirTag lasts about 365 days but rides on Apple's Find My network, so in markets thick with iPhones far more devices can relay its position. Choose the AirTag for network density, the Tile Mate for price and battery.
