Ridge Tracker Card vs. Seekerity Smart Tracking Card: Which Wallet Tracker Should You Buy?
The Ridge Tracker Card and the Seekerity Smart Tracking Card do the same basic job — a slim card that slides into a wallet and reports its location — but they're built around a different bet. Ridge's card works with either Apple Find My or Google Find Hub, so it can go into a wallet regardless of which phone is on the other end. Seekerity's card is built specifically for Find My, costs about €10 less, and matches a wider line-up of Find My accessories — a cardholder, two MagSafe wallets, a key organizer, and a luggage lock — if you want more than one thing tracked the same way. Which one is worth buying mostly comes down to one question: does everyone who might need to locate this wallet carry an iPhone?
Quick answer
- Platform support is the real split. Ridge's Tracker Card works with Apple Find My or Google Find Hub, so it fits a wallet even if the person checking on it carries an Android phone. Seekerity's Smart Tracking Card only works with Find My — if there's no iPhone, iPad, or Mac in the picture, it won't report anywhere.
- Seekerity costs less and plugs into a matching set. €34.95 versus Ridge's €45 for the card alone, and the same Find My network also covers Seekerity's Smart Cardholder, MagSafe wallets, key organizer, and Smart Lock if you ever want more than your wallet tracked the same way.
- Both recharge wirelessly, but only one publishes a battery figure for this exact product. Ridge states up to 10 months per charge over Qi or MagSafe. Seekerity gives a general 6–12 month range across its range and doesn't publish an exact number for the Tracking Card specifically.
What each card actually is
The Ridge Tracker Card is a PVC card, about 85 × 53mm, that Ridge sells as an add-on to its wallets (and as a standalone card for any wallet). Ridge's own spec pages describe it as "1.6mm thin" in the marketing copy but list 0.07 inches — roughly 1.8mm — in the technical spec table, so treat the real figure as "about as thin as two stacked bank cards" rather than an exact number. It runs on a sealed, rechargeable 155mAh battery, charged on any Qi or MagSafe charger, and Ridge rates it IP68 for water and dust resistance.
The Seekerity Smart Tracking Card is Seekerity's equivalent idea: a credit-card-thin tracker, built for Apple Find My only, meant to slide into a wallet, bag, or suitcase pocket you already own. Like the rest of Seekerity's range, it has a sealed, built-in rechargeable battery rather than a coin cell, charged wirelessly on any Qi pad. Seekerity doesn't publish an exact millimetre figure or an IP rating for the card; the brand-wide spec is that its accessories are splash- and light-rain-resistant, not built for submersion.
The one difference that decides most of this: which network
Apple's Find My and Google's Find Hub are separate networks, built for separate phones, and neither runs on the other's operating system — we cover exactly how they differ in our full Find My vs. Find Hub comparison. That split is what actually separates these two cards.
Ridge's own product page markets the card as working "with whatever phone you carry," listing both Apple Find My and Google Find Hub as supported networks. What the page doesn't spell out is whether a single card can be read by both networks for two different people at once, or whether you choose one network when you first set it up. Based on how both networks work — a tag is paired to one account on one ecosystem — the more likely reading is the second one: you set the card up for Find My if you carry an iPhone, or for Find Hub if you carry an Android phone, not both simultaneously. If that distinction matters for your use case, it's worth confirming directly with Ridge before buying.
Seekerity doesn't have this question to answer, because the Smart Tracking Card — like every other Seekerity product — only ever runs on Find My. That's a limitation for an Android owner, and a non-issue for anyone already living in Apple's ecosystem.
If your household is all iPhones
Ridge's cross-platform support buys you nothing here, and you're paying €10 more for a capability you won't use. Seekerity's card does the same core job — locate the wallet, play a sound, get a separation alert — for less, and it's one purchase away from matching the rest of a Find My set if you later add a key organizer or a lock.
If your household has an Android phone too
This is where Ridge's pitch is genuinely useful rather than a marketing line. A shared wallet, a teenager's first wallet, or a household split between iPhone and Android is exactly the case a Find My-only card can't serve on the Android side. Seekerity has no answer for this scenario today — every one of its products is Find My-only — so Ridge, or a dedicated Find Hub tag from a brand like Chipolo or Pebblebee, is the realistic option.
Credit-card-thin, Find My built in, rechargeable with no coin cell to swap. Slides into a wallet, bag, or suitcase pocket you already own.

Figures for the Ridge Tracker Card come from Ridge's own product and spec pages; we haven't tested either card ourselves, so treat both columns as each brand's stated specs rather than independently verified measurements.
Price: what €45 and €34.95 actually buy
On a single card, Seekerity is the cheaper buy by about €10, with no subscription on either side — both networks are free to use once you own the hardware. Where the price comparison changes is if you want more than a wallet tracked. Ridge sells the Tracker Card as one item in a wallet-accessories catalogue; buying a second or third card for a bag or a laptop sleeve means paying €45 again each time. Seekerity's Find My accessories are priced similarly across the range (the Smart Cardholder and Smart Key Organizer are both €59.95, the Smart Lock is €59.95), and bundling two of them — a wallet-style item plus the tracking card — into the iPhone Essentials Kit brings the combined price below buying both separately. If your plan is "track my wallet and nothing else," that difference won't matter much. If it's "track everything I carry," it adds up faster on Ridge's side.
Which one should you buy?
Buy the Ridge Tracker Card if the wallet in question needs to be checked on from an Android phone, or from a household with a mix of iPhone and Android — that's the one job Seekerity's card structurally cannot do. It's also the pick if Ridge's stated IP68 rating and louder ringer claim matter more to you than saving €10, and you're comfortable relying on specs Ridge publishes but that we haven't independently verified.
Buy the Seekerity Smart Tracking Card if everyone who needs to find this wallet carries an iPhone, iPad, or Mac — which covers most single-person and all-Apple households. It costs less, and if you later add a cardholder, a key organizer, or a lock, they all report into the same Find My app you're already using, rather than mixing ecosystems for no reason.
Neither card is the right purchase if you're trying to prevent theft rather than relocate something you set down — see the note on that below.
Frequently asked questions
Can the Ridge Tracker Card use Find My and Find Hub at the same time?
Ridge's product page doesn't say clearly. It markets the card as working with "whatever phone you carry" and lists both Apple Find My and Google Find Hub as supported, but based on how both networks function — a tag is paired to one account on one ecosystem — it most likely means you choose one network when you set the card up, not that it reports to both at once. Confirm with Ridge directly if this matters for your situation.
Does the Seekerity Smart Tracking Card work with Android or Google Find Hub?
No. The Smart Tracking Card, like every other Seekerity product, only works with Apple's Find My network, through the Find My app on iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Which card is thinner?
Both are marketed as credit-card-thin, and neither brand publishes a figure precise enough to call a clear winner. Ridge's own pages list two slightly different thickness figures (1.6mm in marketing copy, roughly 1.8mm in its spec table); Seekerity doesn't publish an exact measurement for the Smart Tracking Card.
Do either of these cards need a subscription?
No. Find My and Find Hub are both free to use once you own the hardware. You're paying once for the card itself, not for ongoing access to either network.
Can I replace the battery myself?
No, on either card. Both are sealed and rechargeable rather than built around a swappable coin cell like an AirTag — you top them up wirelessly on a Qi (or, for Ridge, Qi/MagSafe) charger instead of opening a battery tray.
Will a tracking card stop someone from stealing my wallet?
No. Both cards help you relocate a wallet you've lost or left behind — through Find My or Find Hub's map location, separation alerts, and a sound you can play — but neither is a theft-prevention device, and we wouldn't claim it is. Treat the location you see as a starting point, not a guarantee, and use ordinary caution before retrieving anything from an unfamiliar place.
Can I use one of these cards alongside a Seekerity key organizer or lock?
Yes, as long as everything is on the same network. A Seekerity Smart Tracking Card sits in Find My next to a Seekerity Smart Key Organizer or Smart Lock without any extra setup. A Ridge Tracker Card set up for Find Hub would sit in Find Hub instead — it wouldn't appear alongside Find My-only Seekerity items in the same app.
Is the Ridge Tracker Card waterproof?
Ridge states an IP68 rating, which covers both water and dust resistance to a specified depth and duration under lab conditions — that's Ridge's own published spec, not a figure we've tested ourselves. Seekerity doesn't publish an IP rating for its accessories; the brand-wide guidance is that they're splash- and light-rain-resistant but not built for submersion.
