Regardless of if I think I’m an Android guy, I’ve been primarily using iPhones for the past five or so years! One of the best features? The native “Find My” application. It’s an amazing feature to be able to keep track of where your devices are and where the people you care about are. However, outside of the built-in functionality of FindMy in an iPhone, there hasn’t been another great way to keep track of devices within the app, outside of Apple’s AirTags, which I’ve never been a fan of. That is, until recently.
Over the past year or so, there has been a surge of “FindMy” iOS-capable tracker cards hitting the market! They are considerably better than the Apple AirTag in that you can easily insert them into your wallet without having to buy a special wallet or accessory to make it happen.
So with that said, here are the tracker cards we’ve tested, ranked by my favorite to my least favorite!
Quick Note: All of the cards on this list were gifted to me by their respective brands! However, obviously all opinions are my own.

1. Ekster Finder Card

- Extremely easy to setup
- Easy to store in your wallet
- Simple design
- More expensive than Apple AirTag
This has been a household name for a while, or at least in my house, anyway. So when Ekster released a tracking card capable of working with my iPhone’s FindMy app, I was rightfully stoked about it. Thankfully, they sent this card along with the Ekster Cardholder Pro (which I recently reviewed over here), which they gifted me to try out.
As for aesthetics, there isn’t much to talk about! It’s a simple black card with a slightly hidden LED light for pairing and a battery life indicator, and outside of Ekster’s logo, there isn’t much else to talk about.
The setup was incredibly easy, with no hiccups whatsoever! Once I turned it on, it was simple to find the device in my iPhone 15 Pro’s FindMy App, and we were off to the races.
The card hasn’t hiccuped once since I paired the device, and I don’t really have any complaints whatsoever, outside of the fact it’s nearly double the price of Apple’s AirTag.
2. Double Oak Wallet Tracker Card

- Looks better than the competition
- Extremely easy to setup
- Easy to store in your wallet
- Simple design
- More expensive than Apple AirTag
- Received some notifications of lost wallet, when not lost
This card, at first glance, looks nearly identical to the Ekster Finder Card above, and let’s be honest, they do about the same thing. In fact, they both even carry the exact same charger, which is a two-prong style charger that magnetizes to the card to charge. It’s easy, simple, and works well!
The main thing that sets the Double Oak apart from the Ekster option is that it features a bit better aesthetics than the Ekster, as it has Double Oak’s logo emblazoned on it, and a bow and arrow style gloss on matte graphic, a cool touch!
Its setup process was just as easy as Ekster’s, and everything functions identically in that way! The only reason why I have this card lower than Ekster’s is that I have gotten considerably more false notifications than the above competitor. Every once in a while, I’ll get a notification that I left my wallet somewhere when I very well know it is in my pocket.
3. KeySmart SmartCard

- Extremely easy to setup
- Easy to store in your wallet
- Simple design
- Larger than standard credit cards
- More expensive than Apple AirTag
- Didn't seem to update as often as competition
I’ve been getting far too many of these tracker cards that all essentially do the same thing, so I asked my wife to test out this KeySmart tracker card that they sent out to me! While the primary thing was that she hadn’t thought too much about it once she got into her wallet (which is a good thing), her concern came down to its thickness.
While it wasn’t much of a issue with the other cards for me, she didn’t care for it being thicker than a standard credit card, as it made it difficult to use in place of another card. She also didn’t enjoy that it wasn’t compatible with more devices like the Light Phone 2, which she also helped me review (read that here).
Overall, though, it has been a great card for her to use, and it’s a fantastic piece of mind that she knows she can find her wallet if it ever gets lost. As for my side of things, as I am able to see this card on my device as well, I found it didn’t update for hours, even though I know it was close to an iOS device (which is how these cards get their location). Just a small bummer that I haven’t noticed with other cards I’ve tested!
Oh! It’s also worth mentioning, the only way to charge this device is via a wireless charging pad, so if you don’t have one of those, you might want to get one!
