Less durable than the Tile Pro
Apple’s new AirTag ($29) is getting a lot of attention, but Tile has been in the tracker game for many years. The Tile Mate ($24.99), which was revamped in 2020, comes in a close second to the Tile Pro ($34.99). The primary difference is the Mate's all-plastic body, which isn't quite as sturdy as the Pro's metal frame but is still pretty durable. The AirTag is our Editors' Choice for iPhone users, and the Pro is our all-around top pick for Android, but the modestly priced Mate provides excellent value for money.
Design
The Mate is a small plastic square that measures 1.4 by 1.4 by 0.3 inches (HWD). It's slightly smaller than the Tile Pro, but it seems larger because it doesn't have tapered edges.
