Life360 Tile Mate Bluetooth Tracker vs Life360 Tile (2024) Bluetooth Tracker

Both are Life360 Tile Bluetooth trackers with the same core job: ring your keys or bag from the app, find your phone, and send an SOS to your Life360 Circle. The Mate is the tougher pick, with IP68 water resistance and a 350 ft range, which suits keys, leashes and kennels. The 2024 Tile is the mainstream model in more colors and is rated 4.2 from 387 ratings, but its listing gives no water rating or range figure, so the Mate is the safer spec. Owners of Tile trackers generally praise the ring and phone-finding, and complain about the sealed battery and the app push toward a Life360 subscription.

• Choose the Life360 Tile Mate if you want a water-resistant tracker for keys, bags, leashes or a kennel, and you value the stated 350 ft range and IP68 rating.
• Choose the Life360 Tile (2024) if you want the current Tile in a color like Green Surf and the same app, SOS and phone-ringing features without needing a rugged rating.
