How we compare
Bluetooth tags and phone-based apps are fine for keys. When you need to find a car, a person or a truck anywhere in the US, you need a dedicated GPS tracker on a cellular network.

Verified reviews
4.7 out of 5 from verified post-purchase surveys.
"Set up a geofence around my daughter's school in five minutes. The alert hits my phone before she even texts me. Worth every penny of the $20.95."
"Dad has early-stage dementia and likes to walk. This little tracker clipped to his belt has brought him home safely twice. Support walked me through setup on the phone."
"We run six landscaping trucks. The 2-year prepaid plan is among the cheapest per-month rates I found anywhere, and the location history has already settled a billing dispute."
"Battery genuinely lasts weeks, not days. Only wish it charged over USB-C — but the Micro-USB top-up takes about two hours, so it's a minor gripe."
The details
Good questions
The tracker uses a cellular network, so it needs an active plan to send its location. Monthly plans are $20.95 with no contract. Prepaid 1-year and 2-year plans lower the per-month cost. Either way, the device itself is free.
Anywhere out of sight: the glovebox, under a seat, or in the trunk. It is 2.93″ × 1.63″ × 1.02″ and weighs 2.82 oz, and it needs no wiring.
Yes. The tracker connects directly to nationwide 4G LTE cell networks — no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth pairing, or nearby phone required. If there's cell coverage, it reports its location.
Everything: cellular data, real-time tracking, unlimited geofences, all alert types, 90-day location history, the iOS/Android apps, unlimited shared users, and US-based support. There are no tiers or upsells.
No contract and no cancellation fee. Monthly plans are month-to-month — cancel anytime from your account page in two taps, or by calling 1-855-462-7819 (M–F, 9AM–5PM PST). Service runs through the end of your paid period. Prepaid 1-year and 2-year plans trade a longer commitment for a lower rate — that's the only difference.
You get a full refund. Contact us within 30 days of delivery and we'll refund both the device and the subscription — return shipping is covered by us, and there are no restocking fees.
Tracking your own vehicle, your minor child, or assets you own is legal in all 50 states. Tracking another adult without their knowledge or consent may be restricted where you live — when in doubt, tell them. It's their safety too.
