The Pebblebee Clip 5 suits travelers who would rather top up a tag than swap batteries. It charges over USB-C and Pebblebee rates a charge at up to 12 months, though the cable is not in the box. Like the Chipolo POP it pairs with either Apple Find My or Google Find Hub, and its clip-on body comes with a keyring and carabiner, which makes it easy to hook onto a suitcase handle. Pebblebee lists Bluetooth range at up to 500 ft (150 m), and bright LEDs plus a loud buzzer help you find a bag in a dark car trunk or at a crowded carousel. The tag weighs 10 g, carries an IPX6 rating and a 2-year limited warranty, and the Clip adds Pebblebee's Alert safety feature, which can send an alert from your keychain. It costs $34.99, a few dollars more than the coin-cell tags, and it lacks Ultra Wideband for on-screen direction finding.
