Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Bluetooth Lost Device Finder at Free against Device Locator's $3.99. Bluetooth Lost Device Finder also leads on rating (4.2 vs 2.9) and ratings volume (693 vs 19). Device Locator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (72% vs 38%). On update cadence, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bluetooth Lost Device Finder holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bluetooth Lost Device Finder has 693 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Device Locator's written reviews are positive against 38% of Bluetooth Lost Device Finder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
