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.
