The MeowTrack 4G cat tracker determines its location using four locating services: GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Cellular. It then communicates this location back to you through LTE cellular networks. That’s why it needs a SIM card that automatically connects to local cell networks. Unlike AirTag or other tracking devices that just use Bluetooth, the MeowTrack 4G cat tracker can locate your pet worldwide, as long as there's sufficient cellular coverage.

No, you do not need a subscription. You have the option to choose any Nano SIM card that best suits your needs for internet and data transmission.

AirTags need to be close to other Apple devices to track objects. If your pet is not within range of an Apple device, an AirTag won’t be able to find them. MeowTrack uses GPS, Wi-Fi, and Cellular technology to provide accurate live location data with worldwide coverage.

MeowTrack uses four location technologies—GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Cellular—offering more precise tracking compared to Tractive, which relies on GPS and Cellular alone. MeowTrack's design is notably more lightweight, weighing just 19 grams, whereas Tractive's CAT Mini tracker is slightly heavier at 25 grams. A key advantage of MeowTrack is its subscription model; it allows for the use of any preferred SIM card without requiring a monthly fee. In contrast, Tractive includes a built-in SIM card, requiring a monthly subscription to access its tracking services.
