Quick answer

If you want a tracker that works with both Apple and Google networks, go with the Chipolo POP. If you are deep in the Apple ecosystem and prefer the vast Find My network, the AirTag is a strong choice.

Network compatibility matters

The Chipolo POP works with both Apple Find My and Google's Find My Device network, giving you flexibility if you switch phones or share a tracker with someone on Android. The Apple AirTag is locked to the Apple Find My network, which is fine if everyone in your household uses an iPhone.

Sound and features

Chipolo emphasizes a loud ring to help you find lost items quickly. The POP also includes a "Call Your Phone" feature through its companion app, which AirTag does not offer natively. AirTag relies on Precision Finding with UWB (Ultra Wideband) for more precise location on newer iPhones, but the Chipolo POP does not include UWB, so it uses standard Bluetooth range for proximity.

Price and pack options

The Chipolo POP 4 Pack Standard Mix is priced at $87.60 (compared to $120.00), making it a cost-effective way to track multiple items. Apple sells AirTags individually or in a 4-pack at a higher price point. If you need to track several items at once, the Chipolo pack saves money.
