I managed to bag a great 63% deal on a 4 pack of chipolo ONE point in the spring sale.
I love the simplicity of the ONE point and the ability to share the device with family members so they can see the device on thier Google accounts.
It took me a minute to decide between the ONE and the ONE point. But given I'm going to be using these for travel it made sense to use the ONE point. But I love that they have made a device for different user bases. Also great that they have android & apple variations.
Speaking of apple, Chipolo really fills the airtag void for android users. I've looked at chipolos competitor's tags, and from my research the competition isn't even close. Some your even require a subscription, eek!

I am not very satisfied with the Google compatible version "find my device" compared to the version that only works with Chipolo. The Chipolo app is more flexible in use and organization, inside the Google app it is much less efficient. The Google solution does not have the capabilities of the Apple AirTag solution, used by some Chipolo devices, often and willingly I find the Chipolo Google offline or with positions that are days old even if they are with me. Also, the acoustic signal function if you move away from the Chipolo is not present in ChipoloGoogle. I was hoping for the possibility of having all the Chipolo functions in addition to the Google ones but it is not so and therefore I am very disappointed with the solution and I recommend aiming only for the Chipolo versions or those that work with Apple.
If you're in the Android ecosystem, this is a great option for tracking capability. The tag feels well made, has a nice included button, and produces a loud sound. My only concern was the frequency of updates as there aren't as many Android phones around (in the US), and so the location data can be stale sometimes.
I am very surprised by Chipolo and find it a good tool for monitoring and controlling mobile devices and vehicles. If you know the system, however, you also know that the location transmission cannot be specified and transmitted very precisely and the update of the location depends on the number of mobile phone users with Bluetooth switched on near the Chipolo. Therefore, a location is probably rarely updated in rural areas. Overall, however, I am satisfied.
The unit is well made. Easy to use. Replaceable battery is a nice feature. Unfortunately, performance is subject to Google's flakey network and density of foot traffic in the area, though, that is no fault of Chipolo.
