An AirTag alternative with no battery and no app
Locatid is a QR tag that gets your things back. A Bluetooth tracker like AirTag shows you a dot on a map. A Locatid tag lets whoever found your keys, bag or pet message you from any phone, with nothing to charge, nothing to pair, and your number kept private.
A tracker finds it. Locatid gets it back.
| Feature | Locatid QR tag | Bluetooth tracker, like AirTag |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | None. Nothing to charge or replace, ever. | A coin cell you replace. Apple says an AirTag battery lasts more than a year. |
| Range | No limit. It works anywhere someone can scan it. | Bluetooth range, then it relies on other people's phones passing by. |
| Who can help | Anyone with a phone camera. No app, no account. | Someone with an NFC phone, once you've switched on Lost Mode. |
| What the finder sees | Your first name and a photo of your item. Never your number or email. | In Lost Mode, the phone number or email address you choose to share. |
| How you hear about it | An email the moment they write, and a private chat to arrange the return. | A location on a map, updated as phones pass by. |
| Which phones | Any phone, for you and for the finder. | Tied to one platform. AirTag is set up with an iPhone or iPad. |
| Price | The free plan covers one tag. Pro covers up to 10 tags for $4.99 a month. Printed tags from about $14.95.* | AirTag is $29, or four for $99. Some trackers charge a subscription for extra features. |
*Tags are designed and tracked using Locatid. Tags are purchased for a one-time charge through Zazzle, who sets the pricing, which may change at Zazzle's discretion.
