I have a chipolo on my keys. It only works within Bluetooth range, but doesn’t require a subscription and works on Android.
Comment on Is airtags really useful?

Is there any variation of these that doesn’t require a subscription? Even if it means it only works around th house (e.g. on wifi)?

Tiles don’t require a subscription. But iirc they stopped making the ones with the users replaceable battery. I have one of those old ones and it still works great.

My bad. A few years ago I looked at getting Tile for my Dad and decided not to when it mentioned a recurring subscription. I didn’t realise it had a decent free. I also assumed Apple would be even worse for rent-seeking because, well, it’s usually a safe assumption. My bad for assuming so much!
