Tile Pro hits $25, best price of the year

By Riley Hart

The Tile Pro just snagged its best price of the year at $24.99. The Verge

For a Mother's Day under $30, location trackers are a practical gift, helping mom keep tabs on keys, bags, and luggage. The Verge

The latest Tile Pro is on sale for $24.99 at Amazon and directly from Tile. The Verge

It is widely regarded as one of the best trackers on the market. The Verge

And it works with both iPhones and Android devices, a plus for mixed households. The Verge

That cross ecosystem compatibility matters in real life, where households juggle different phones and bags. The Verge

The Tile Pro offers a Bluetooth range of up to 500 feet and its loudest ring at 110 decibels. The Verge

It includes a replaceable CR2032 battery so you can swap it out instead of buying a new tracker. The Verge

Tile also touts two days of location history and a built in keyring hole. The Verge

The device’s design makes it simple to clip onto keys or luggage without paying for extra accessories. The Verge

Apple's AirTag may offer more precise location tracking for iPhone users, but Tile Pro makes up for it with cross platform compatibility and practical extras. The Verge

The Tile Pro is the only Tile with a replaceable battery, adding long term value for budget shoppers. The Verge

It can make the phone ring even when the phone is on silent, a handy feature for finding a misplaced device. The Verge

This makes it a good option for Android users who want a reliable tracker away from home. The Verge

Travelers and families juggling multiple bags or keys will appreciate the keyring hole. The Verge

For iPhone purists seeking the tightest location accuracy, AirTag remains the go to. The Verge

The price dip underscores Tile's strategy to keep cross ecosystem compatibility front and center. The Verge

Two days of location history are included, a feature that sets Tile Pro apart from some competitors. The Verge

Industry watchers will be watching to see if Tile can sustain cross ecosystem appeal as trackers evolve. The Verge

Bottom line, if you want a budget cross compatible tracker with a replaceable battery, this Tile Pro deal at 24.99 is worth grabbing. The Verge
