Ekster Tracker Card vs. Seekerity: Which Trackable Wallet Should You Buy?
Ekster is one of the best-known wallet brands to build Apple Find My tracking into a card, and its $39 Tracker Card is the product most people put up against Seekerity before buying. The short version: Ekster's tracker works with both Apple Find My and Google Find Hub on one card, sold as an add-on you slot into any wallet, while Seekerity builds Find My directly into the cardholder, wallet, or card itself, with EU and UK pricing starting at €34.95. Neither brand wins on every point — it comes down to which phone you use and whether you want tracking as a separate card or built into the thing you already carry.
Quick answer
- Ekster covers both Apple and Android. Its Tracker Card works with Apple Find My or Google Find Hub — you pick one network when you buy it — so it's the only option here if anyone in your household is on Android. Seekerity's entire range is Apple Find My only.
- Seekerity builds tracking into the product itself. A Smart Cardholder, Smart MagSafe Wallet, or Smart Foldable MagSafe Wallet already has Find My inside, so there's no separate tracker to buy and fit. Ekster's own cardholders and wallets need its Tracker Card or Finder Card added on top to become trackable.
- The prices aren't directly comparable. Ekster lists its Tracker Card at $39 with no EU or UK price shown on its own site. Seekerity's Smart Tracking Card is €34.95, and its cardholders and wallets run €44.95–€59.95. Compare in your own currency rather than assuming a 1:1 conversion.
What Ekster actually sells
Ekster's tracking lineup is built around add-on cards rather than trackable wallets. Its wallets and cardholders — the Parliament, the Senate, the Cardholder Pro — are sold on their own and don't track anything until you add one of these:
- Tracker Card ($39) — a dual-network card: at checkout you choose whether it runs on Apple's Find My or Google's Find Hub. Ekster lists roughly 10 months of battery life per charge, 1.8mm of thickness, and wireless charging (the charger itself is sold separately). Its product page advertises a "lifetime warranty" in one banner while the specification sheet lists 2 years — worth confirming directly with Ekster before you buy.
- Tracker Card for MagSafe ($59) — not a wallet. It's a slim tracking tile, about 2.7mm thick with an 80mAh battery (Ekster states roughly 5 months per charge), that attaches magnetically to a phone, a bag, or Ekster's own MagSafe cardholder. It tracks; it doesn't hold cards.
- Trackable Passport Wallet ($89) — a passport cover made with Dore & Rose that ships with a tracker included, for anyone comparing passport options specifically rather than everyday-carry wallets.
What Seekerity actually sells
Seekerity's approach is the opposite: Find My is built into the product you're already buying, so there's nothing extra to attach.
Apple Find My built into a slim cardholder — no separate tracker to add. Available in six colors and finishes.
- Smart Tracking Card (€34.95) — the closest match to Ekster's Tracker Card: a thin, standalone Apple Find My card that slides into any wallet, bag, or case you already own.
- Smart Cardholder (€59.95) — a full cardholder with Find My built into the shell itself, in six colors and finishes.
- Smart MagSafe Wallet (€44.95) and Smart Foldable MagSafe Wallet (€49.95) — attach to the back of an iPhone via MagSafe and hold your cards, with tracking built in rather than added on top.
Built-in vs. add-on: what that means for a MagSafe wallet specifically
This is where the two brands differ most in practice, not just in price. Ekster's Tracker Card for MagSafe is a tracker, not a cardholder — to get an actual card-carrying MagSafe wallet with tracking from Ekster, you'd need its separate MagSafe cardholder plus this tracker clipped to the back of it: two products, two purchases. Seekerity's Smart MagSafe Wallet and Smart Foldable MagSafe Wallet are each one product: the card storage and the Find My tracking are the same piece of hardware. Neither approach is wrong — Ekster's modular setup means you can swap the tracker onto something else later; Seekerity's integrated setup means less to misplace and one less thing to buy.

Which one should you actually buy?
- Mixed Apple and Android household: Ekster's Tracker Card is the only one of the two that can run on Google Find Hub, so it's the more flexible pick if not everyone in the house has an iPhone.
- You already own a wallet you like: either the Ekster Tracker Card or Seekerity's Smart Tracking Card works — both are thin add-on cards meant to slide into an existing wallet, bag, or passport cover.
- You want one less thing to buy and fit: Seekerity's Smart Cardholder, Smart MagSafe Wallet, or Smart Foldable MagSafe Wallet already have tracking built in — no separate card to order and insert.
- You're shopping in euros or pounds and want a clear price today: Seekerity's listed prices are in EUR; Ekster's Tracker Card prices on its own site are shown in USD only, so you'd need to check the actual charge at checkout before comparing.
Frequently asked questions
Does Ekster's Tracker Card work with an iPhone?
Yes. You choose Apple Find My compatibility when you buy it — the same card is also sold in a Google Find Hub version for Android, so make sure you pick the right one.
Can Seekerity's cards and wallets be used on Android?
No. Every Seekerity product runs on Apple's Find My network only, so you'll need an iPhone, iPad, or Mac signed in with an Apple ID to see its location. If you need Android support, Ekster's Tracker Card is the more flexible choice between the two.
Do I need to buy an Ekster wallet to use its Tracker Card?
No. The Tracker Card is sold as a standalone, credit-card-sized card that fits into any wallet, bag, or case you already own — it doesn't require an Ekster-branded wallet.
Is Ekster's "Tracker Card for MagSafe" a wallet?
No. It's a slim tracking tile that attaches magnetically to a phone, bag, or Ekster's own MagSafe cardholder — it tracks, but it doesn't store cards. For a single product that both carries cards and tracks via MagSafe, Seekerity's Smart MagSafe Wallet or Smart Foldable MagSafe Wallet are the closer match.
Does Ekster also sell a trackable passport cover?
Yes — its Trackable Passport Wallet, made with Dore & Rose, ships with a tracker for $89. If you're specifically comparing passport options rather than everyday wallets, see our passport holder buying guide, which covers Seekerity's own Smart Passport Holder.
Which one has the better warranty?
Seekerity states its terms plainly: a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects plus a 30-day money-back guarantee. Ekster's own pages show conflicting information — a "lifetime warranty" banner alongside a specification sheet that lists 2 years — so it's worth asking Ekster directly which applies before you buy.
Do either of these require a subscription?
No. Both Ekster's trackers and Seekerity's Find My products run on their respective networks for free, with no app purchase or recurring fee for the owner.
