I'm guessing the cancel part got their attention as they replied in three days. I waited a few weeks and wrote them again explaining its not working, explained its my second time writing, cancel my trial. So I contacted them through the website and nothing, no reply.

I started the one month trial but there was no difference to the app's features and no personal help as they advertised. Since I "upgraded" to the Premium app its been a total disaster. I would recommend to not go with Tile, I like their products but found out once I started to have a problem they fail miserably. But if you want the loudest key finder with the best range, pay the extra $10 for the Tile Pro. The best value overall is the Tile Mate, thanks to its low price tag. That said, anyone looking to keep tabs on their wallet would do well with the Tile Slim, provided they don’t mind the limited range and lack of replaceable battery. Whatever you pick, you’re likely to end up with a dependable device. Some good news if you’re trying to decide which Tile to buy: having tested most key finders, we think Tile makes the best trackers overall.

(A two-pack of the Tile Pro, for example, costs $60 instead of the $70 it would run you to buy two trackers separately.) Tile also bundles the Mate with the Slim in a $70 package that includes four mate trackers, and as of this writing at least, you can buy a bundle that packages the Tile Pro with the Slim, too. Tile lets you buy multiple Pro and Mate trackers in bundles, which includes discounted per tracker prices. Enough better to warrant an extra $10? If you’ve got a big house and a tendency to leave your keys behind, the answer could be yes. The Tile Pro has all the same characteristics of the Mate but just does everything better.

But when that window of time passes, you’ll find out that the Pro and Mate run on standard, replaceable CR2032 and CR1632 batteries - the kind you can buy for a few bucks and replace yourself.įor $5 more than the Mate, you can pay for the thinner and more wallet-friendly Slim, but you’ll be missing out on Bluetooth range and, considering its low speaker volume, potentially missing out ever finding it even when you ring it. BatteryĪll three Tile models are guaranteed under warranty for one year of battery life. Tile Slim is IP57, basically meaning it can withstand strong splashes or jets of water, while Mate and Pro, at IP55, are rated only for normal splashes. Something else the two main Tile designs differ in are water resistance ratings. Though the feature is available on all Tile models, the Pro’s larger wireless range makes it the device with the best odds of being found by random passersby. If your missing Tile is completely out of Bluetooth range, the Tile app has a community feature that allows the device’s location to be anonymously detected and sent to you after coming into range with another Tile user’s smartphone. Still, our testing bares out that the Tile Pro has a much longer range than the Mate. Mate is half of that, 150 feet, while Slim promises only 100 feet.Īs we’ve found when testing these trackers, real-world range tends to fall short of what’s listed, thanks to physical obstacles like walls or doors and interference from other wireless devices. Mate Pro brings largest listed range at 300 feet. Our testing showed that the Pro and Mate are both plenty loud, but in order to get any Tile to ring, it needs to be within Bluetooth wireless range of your phone.īluetooth range is another important difference between the trio of trackers. The Pro is the loudest (128db), the Mate is just below it (119db) and the Slim is by far the quietest (82db). It's important to note is that each of the three Tile models have different ring volumes.
