- Replaceable coin-cell battery across the line, plus a free key-ring case.
Where Chipolo wins
- Android support. Chipolo's POP works with Google Find Hub, so it suits mixed iPhone/Android households (one network at a time).
- Much louder. Chipolo markets up to ~120 dB — easier to hear across a noisy room.
- A true card form factor. The CARD model is slim enough for a wallet slot.
Which one fits your setup?
You're an all-iPhone household on a budget
You want the simplest possible Find My setup, a replaceable battery, and the lowest price to tag several items at once.
You need Android or a slim card
Someone in the house is on Android, you want the loudest possible ring, or you specifically need a wallet-thin CARD tracker.
Tracker Mist vs Chipolo, answered
Does Tracker Mist work with Android like Chipolo?
No. Tracker Mist is Apple Find My only. Chipolo's POP model can use Google Find Hub for Android (but only one network at a time). If your household is all-iPhone, that cross-platform support isn't something you'll use.
Is Chipolo louder than Tracker Mist?
Generally yes. Chipolo markets ring volumes up to about 120 dB, while Tracker Mist rings at roughly 60 dB — plenty for finding something nearby, but not as loud across a big space.
Do either of them need a subscription?
No. Neither Tracker Mist nor Chipolo charges a subscription.
Which is cheaper?
Tracker Mist typically costs less per tracker, and its multipacks are aimed at tagging several items at once.
Tag everything for less.
If your house is all iPhone, you don't need to pay for cross-platform you'll never use.
