Product features
Colors
Color is a significant distinction between the two. Pebblebee offers only a black option, while Chipolo POP finders boast a selection of six colors: black, white, blue, red, yellow, and green. For those who value color choice, this could be the deciding factor.
Design
Chipolo trackers prioritize clean lines and subtle design, enhanced by vibrant colors. That might be an additional help with the organisation (you can color-code your belongings) and help you notice hiding objects faster.
Pebblebee finders feature a more pronounced aesthetic, appealing to users who prefer their tracker to have a more tech-inspired visual presence.
Extra features
Both Pebblebee and Chipolo integrate with either Apple's Find My or Google's Find My Device, meaning they share the core features of these native apps.However, each brand also provides additional functionalities through their own companion apps, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Pebblebee offers a "Phone Finder" feature, allowing users to locate their phone by tapping the tracker. Similarly, Chipolo's app includes a "Call Your Phone" feature.
Beyond this, Chipolo provides further extras like customizable ringtones, a remote camera shutter function, and "Out of Range Alerts" for Android users (a feature already integrated into the Find My app for iPhone users).
Price
Pebblebee is slightly more expensive than Chipolo. While exact prices may vary by market, Chipolo typically costs around $29 or 34€, compared to Pebblebee's approximate $34 or 37€.
This price difference becomes more noticeable when purchasing multiple trackers. For instance, a 4-pack of Chipolo costs around $89 or 105€, whereas a Pebblebee 4-pack is approximately $25-30 more.
For larger quantities, such as a 6-pack, Chipolo offers a significantly better value, with individual trackers priced at around $20 or 25€.
