Both item trackers are easy to set up. You only need to press them while you have your phone unlocked and nearby. A pop-up on your phone screen can then take you through the pairing steps to connect the tracking tag.

Key differences to consider

If you're looking for a tracker with a powerful ring, the Chipolo ONE Point takes the lead. It boasts a 120 dB sound, making it easier to hear even if your keys are buried under a pile of laundry.

The Chipolo ONE is also a bit more budget-friendly than the Moto tag.

However, the moto tag supports Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology. This allows for super-precise location tracking, which comes in handy when you’re trying to pinpoint the location of something without using a ringtone (for example in a noisy environment or tracking your pet…)

But there's a catch. You'll need a UWB-compatible Android phone, and this feature isn't fully active just yet. It's something to keep in mind for the future.

Overall value

So, which tracker comes out on top?

Honestly, both the Chipolo ONE Point and the Motorola moto tag are solid choices for Android users. They're both reliable, affordable, and do a great job of helping you find your stuff.

Chipolo has been in the tracker game for a while now, and we're proud to design and manufacture our products in Europe.

If you're looking for ultra-precise tracking (once it's available), the moto tag with its UWB technology might be a better choice. Plus, it has some bonus features like the remote camera shutter and the ability to ring your phone in the Moto Tag app.

But if a loud ring is your priority, or if you need a slim tracker for your wallet, Chipolo Point trackers are the way to go.
