Tile Pro dupes and alternatives: 6 cheaper item trackers, scored
Tile Pro is Tile's top tracker and, at $34.99, it lists above AirTag. Tile publishes a full sheet: a 500 ft Bluetooth range, a 110 dB ring, IP68, 12 g and a replaceable battery rated for a year. It finds only through the Tile + Life360 network, not Apple Find My or Google Find Hub.

The dupe map
Every stop is a cheaper way to get what the Tile Pro does. The % on each pin is how much of the Tile Pro’s published spec sheet it matches or beats.
What the % means: the share of the Tile Pro’s published specs an alternative matches or beats. 85% = it equals or beats the Tile Pro on 85% of what matters.

How this page was scored
Item trackers are cheap and look alike; what separates them is which phone network will find them when they are out of Bluetooth range - Apple Find My, Google Find Hub, or the maker's own - and then the details a maker prints on the box: how long the battery lasts, whether you can swap it, how far the Bluetooth reaches, how loud the ring is, and how much water it is rated to survive.
Specs are weighted by how much they matter for a item tracker. An alternative earns full credit for matching or beating the Tile Pro on a spec, a proportional share where it falls short, and half credit for a spec its maker does not list. Models that list too few specs to compare fairly are left off. Read the full method.
Savings use maker or named-retailer list prices on the date shown. Amazon prices, where shown, are labelled with the time they were fetched. Spotted an error? Tell us.
Rankings are computed, never soldOrder comes out of the DupeScore calculation. There is no sponsored slot, no pay-to-appear, and no brand has ever been given a say in where it lands.
Every number links to its sourceEach spec comes from the sheet the maker published, linked on the page, with the date the price was checked next to it.
We say what we do not knowA spec a maker never published is shown as not listed and scored at half credit. Nothing is estimated, guessed or filled in to make a table look complete.

Ultra Wideband precision finding is not listed for the Tile Pro, so it is left out of the score.
