Ekster Releases a Dual-Network Tracker Card for Apple and Android
The Dutch brand's new tracker card works with both Apple Find My and Google Find Hub. Just $39.
The wallet tracker market has been moving fast. If you want to understand why tracking cards have appeared in such volume at such speed and at ever-lower prices, my article on the inside of the wallet tracker market covers that in detail. The short version is that the category has matured quickly and competition is driving both innovation and better pricing. The latest entry is Ekster's new Tracker Card, and the headline is dual-network compatibility: it works with both Apple Find My and Google Find Hub.
As an Android user, this is something I am genuinely pleased to see. The Google Find Hub network has been a long time coming as a credible rival to Apple’s Find My, and dual-network cards that serve both ecosystems without asking you to choose a side are becoming the standard worth aiming for. I reviewed the AirCard Pro Dual, one of the first dual-network cards on the market, and it set a strong benchmark. Ekster now has a direct answer to it.
What the Ekster Tracker Card Does
The Tracker Card is credit card-sized and 1.8mm thin, fitting into any standard card slot without adding meaningful bulk. It connects to whichever network you use: Apple Find My on iPhone and Apple Watch, or Google Find Hub on Android and Pixel Watch. From either, you can ring the card to hear it nearby at 95 decibels within a Bluetooth range of 300 feet, receive an alert the moment you leave it behind, and check its last known location on a map. Worldwide trackability is supported via the respective networks.
Battery life is rated at up to 10 months from a full wireless charge, which is strong for the form factor. The charger is not included, which is worth noting. Water resistance is IP68, covering up to 30 minutes of immersion at 1.5 meters. There is no subscription required at any point, which is the correct approach and something worth calling out given how many tracker brands have tried to introduce recurring fees. A two-year warranty is included.
There is also an integrated attachment hole for anyone who wants to use the card on a lanyard, keychain, or strap rather than inside a wallet slot.
How the Price Stacks Up
At $39 the Ekster Tracker Card sits in sensible territory. Ridge charge $45 for their tracker card, which does not offer dual-network compatibility. Secrid, who work directly with Chipolo for their tracker, also sit at $39. My personal favorite, the AirCard Pro Dual, is $40. Ekster’s pricing is competitive and the dual-network feature at that price point is reasonable value.
If you are already in the Ekster ecosystem the Tracker Card is an obvious addition. If you are coming to it fresh, it is worth reading my AirCard Pro Dual review alongside this to compare the two before deciding. The Ekster Tracker Card is available now using the link below.
