n your bag, under your car — what if there's a tracker that isn't yours? TagGuard finds hidden Bluetooth trackers (AirTag, Galaxy SmartTag, Tile, Chipolo, Google Find My) and makes sure your family knows the moment something is wrong. ■ Hidden tracker detection • One-tap scan — results in seconds • Risk score — sightings, time together, distance traveled and distinct places are computed so you're only warned about real threats • Radar finder — the gauge climbs and vibration speeds up as you get closer; find it under the couch or inside the car • Route evidence — every shared movement is mapped, ready to reference in a police report ■ Family safety net (optional) • When tracking risk is detected, connected family members are alerted automatically — even before you notice • SOS — hold for 2 seconds to share your live location with family • SOS location texts reach family even without the app • Everything is end-to-end encrypted — even our server can't read it ■ Caring for parents • Connect with a single 6-digit code (no sign-up) • Once a parent turns on consent, you can request their location whenever you're worried • Every share posts a notification on the parent's phone — this is not covert monitoring ■ Privacy principles • Tracker detection runs 100% on your phone • Location leaves your phone only for family sharing you start yourself (end-to-end encrypted) • No ads. No account. Free to start.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TagGuard at none against Device Finder's 1. TagGuard also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
