SmartTag and AirTag serve similar purposes but operate differently. SmartTag, developed by Samsung, is designed to help you track and locate your items through the SmartThings app, using Bluetooth technology. AirTag is Apple's version, integrating seamlessly with the Find My app, and also employs Bluetooth. However, AirTag has the added advantage of utilizing the vast network of Apple devices for a more extensive search range, even when offline. SmartTag, while lacking this expansive network, compensates with features like the ability to control smart home devices directly from the tag.
