How Is Tack Different from Other Bluetooth Trackers Like AirTag?

Modified on Tue, 21 Jan at 5:17 PM

Tack GPS (Plus) trackers stand out from Bluetooth trackers like AirTag by offering independent, reliable, and versatile tracking capabilities. Here’s a detailed comparison:


1. Independent Tracking

  • Tack GPS (Plus):

    • Equipped with a built-in modem and SIM card, Tack GPS devices operate independently, sending their location directly to the Tack Cloud using cellular networks.

    • Does not rely on nearby phones to transmit its location.

  • Bluetooth Trackers (e.g., AirTag):

    • Relies on proximity to nearby smartphones (e.g., iPhones for AirTag) to send its location to the owner.

    • If no compatible smartphone is nearby, the device cannot transmit its location.


2. Tracking Mobility

  • Tack GPS (Plus):

    • Ideal for tracking people, pets, bikes, and vehicles due to its ability to transmit location data regardless of nearby devices.

  • Bluetooth Trackers:

    • Best suited for stationary or low-mobility items like keys, wallets, or laptop bags.

    • Not reliable for high-mobility assets, as they depend on the presence of smartphones nearby for location updates.


3. Location History

  • Tack GPS (Plus):

    • Provides detailed location history that can be accessed through the OurSphere app.

    • Enables users to track movements over time.

  • Bluetooth Trackers:

    • Do not store location history.

    • Only show the last location where a compatible phone detected the device.


4. Global Coverage

  • Tack GPS (Plus):

    • Works seamlessly across 30+ countries (Tack GPS) and 120+ countries (Tack GPS Plus) with supported network coverage.

  • Bluetooth Trackers:

    • Limited to areas where compatible smartphones are present.
