Read the Complete GuideFrequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between GPS and Bluetooth trackers?
GPS trackers use cellular networks to provide unlimited range tracking anywhere with cell coverage. Bluetooth trackers like AirTag and Tile have limited range (200-400 feet) but don't require subscriptions and work well for indoor cats or neighborhood tracking.
Do all GPS trackers require a monthly subscription?
Most GPS trackers require subscriptions ($5-10/month) to cover cellular data costs. Notable exceptions include Aorkuler (no subscription, works off-grid), Garmin T5 Mini (no subscription, uses handheld device), and Bluetooth trackers like AirTag and Tile.
Which tracker is best for cats?
For cats, look for lightweight options like Tractive GPS CAT Mini (1.4 oz), Jiobit Smart Tag (0.8 oz), or Bluetooth trackers like AirTag if your cat stays close to home. Weight is critical for cat comfort.
How accurate are GPS pet trackers?
GPS trackers are typically accurate within 10-30 feet in open areas. Accuracy can decrease in dense urban areas or indoors due to signal interference. All trackers on our list provide real-time or near-real-time location updates.
