Instead, you get a battery that's built to last for three years before you need to replace your tracker. Some users will not appreciate that the Tile Mate no longer has a replaceable battery. The Tile Pro is a more fully featured device, but the Tile Mate costs $10 less, making it a great value for bargain hunters. We consistently reached 200 feet when range testing this Bluetooth-based tracker, which is pretty impressive. Tile made some great improvements to the latest addition of the Tile Mate, which now performs more reliably than its predecessor. But if you have an older Tile or are looking for the best key finder around, your search should end with this latest edition of the Tile Pro. If you've got the previous version of the Tile Pro from 2020, there's no need to upgrade, as the feature set remains as strong as ever. (Anti-theft mode is available for all the Tile devices included in our best key finder rankings.) That increases the odds you'll be able to recover a stolen item. This year, Tile added an anti-theft mode which makes it hard for thieves to scan for Tile's trackers. Tile continues to improve the software that accompanies its trackers. And the Tile Pro's battery remains easy to replace after about a year of service. A two-way find feature helps you locate your phone if you've misplaced it just by pressing the Tile logo twice on the key finder.

It's got the best range of any key finder we've tested with a good, loud alarm.

And that's why the Tile Pro remains our pick for the best key finder you can buy.
