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.
