What we love
- Only 1.6mm thin — fits behind your cards
- Recharges on any Qi or MagSafe charger
- Loud 95dB ringer, IP68 water resistance
What bugs us
- Older units were Apple-only — Android users should confirm Find Hub support on the listing
- Recharging every ~10 months is one more thing to remember
An AirTag is great on your keys. In a slim wallet, it’s a lump. Tracker cards solve that: they’re the size of a credit card, a hair thicker, and they plug into the same tracking networks.
We compared the most popular options on thinness, battery, network, loudness, and price. Here’s the top five.
Quick picks
| Rank | Tracker | Network | Battery | Price (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ridge Tracker Card | Apple Find My / Google Find Hub | Rechargeable (Qi), ~10 months | ~$45 |
| 2 | Nomad Tracking Card | Apple Find My | Rechargeable (Qi) | ~$29–39 |
| 3 | Chipolo CARD | Apple Find My | Non-rechargeable | ~$35 |
| 4 | Tile Slim | Tile (iOS + Android) | Non-rechargeable | ~$30 |
| 5 | Apple AirTag + card holder | Apple Find My | CR2032 coin cell | ~$29 + holder |
1. Ridge Tracker Card — Best overall
The Ridge Tracker Card is made for Ridge Wallets but fits any card slot. At 1.6mm, it’s one of the thinnest wallet trackers out there, and it’s rated IP68. The 155mAh battery lasts up to around 10 months and tops up on any Qi or MagSafe pad — just drop it on your phone charger overnight.
The 95dB ringer is loud enough to hear from under the couch cushions, and the app gives you real-time location, Lost Mode and left-behind alerts.
Android users: Ridge now lists support for Google’s Find Hub network as well as Apple Find My, so it’s not iPhone-only anymore. Some of Ridge’s older support pages still say Apple-only, so check the listing before you buy.
2. Nomad Tracking Card — Best runner-up
Nomad makes two versions: the Tracking Card Air (about 1.7mm, up to ~7 months per charge) and the thicker Tracking Card Pro (about 2.5mm, up to ~16 months). Both use Find My and charge wirelessly on Qi. The Air is basically a Ridge rival at a lower price; the Pro trades thickness for battery. See the Nomad Air · See the Pro.
Full breakdown: Ridge Tracker Card vs Nomad.
3. Chipolo CARD — Best set-and-forget
Chipolo’s Find My card doesn’t recharge — when the battery’s done, you replace the card (Chipolo runs a recycling/renewal program). Some guys prefer that: no charging, ever, for a long stretch. Check price.
4. Tile Slim — Best for mixed iPhone + Android households
Tile runs on its own network and works on both iPhone and Android. The network is smaller than Apple’s Find My, so it’s less precise in the wild — but if your household mixes iPhones and Androids, one app for everyone is handy. Check price.
5. Apple AirTag + card holder — Best if you already own AirTags
Got a spare AirTag? A card-shaped holder turns it into a wallet tracker. You get Apple’s Precision Finding on newer iPhones — but it’s noticeably thicker, and it’ll add a bump to slim wallets. AirTag · Card holders.
How to pick
- Slim wallet, iPhone or Android? Ridge Tracker Card.
- iPhone + tight budget? Nomad Tracking Card Air.
- Never want to charge anything? Chipolo CARD.
- Mixed-phone household? Tile Slim.
Bottom line: on iPhone or Android, the Ridge Tracker Card is the thinnest, toughest, easiest-to-live-with option. Pair it with a Ridge Wallet and you’re done.
