AirTag vs. dupe: Which is better?

Everyone’s talking about this AirTag alternative, calling it even better than the real thing. Why? Probably because Apple’s tracker works great, but it has a couple of downsides: its shape and battery. And this wallet-friendly device is the perfect answer to both.

Meet the KeySmart SmartCard: a credit card-shaped tracker that fits snugly between your other cards and cash. While it still works with Apple’s Find My app—the same as the AirTag—it’s Qi-wireless rechargeable and requires no battery replacements.

We really want you to give these a try, so we’re making these trackers cheaper than the AirTags through Jan. 31. Grab a 3-pack for $79.97 with free shipping, making them just $27 each, and use them in your wallet, passport, luggage, or gift them for Valentine’s Day (reg. $119.97). Singles are also available.

AirTag vs. dupe

This wallet tracker card is so loved because it’s essentially an AirTag, just in a new form and with significant improvements. Just like the AirTag, it pairs with Apple’s Find My app, allowing you to:

  • See your item’s real-time location on a map
  • Play a sound on the SmartCard to locate it
  • Get notifications when you leave your item behind

However, unlike the AirTag, the SmartCard will never need a battery replacement. Instead, just lay it on a Qi-enabled wireless charger every five months to keep it powered up. 

The SmartCard is also more water-resistant than the AirTag with an IPX8 waterproof rating (the AirTag is rated IPX67). This means it’s more durable in various weather conditions, ensuring the odds of tracking your items are higher if they’re lost outdoors or submerged in water.

Get your KeySmart SmarCards in a 3-pack for $79.97 with free shipping (reg. $119.97) until January 31 at 11:59 p.m. PT. No coupon is needed to get this price.
