Over three years, the Weenect XT is the cheapest of the four cellular trackers here at about $300, and the Halo 5 is the most expensive at about $844. The plan is what separates them, because over three years the plan costs more than the collar on three of the four.
Comparison table
| Tracker | Device price | Cheapest live-tracking plan | 12-month total | 36-month total | Battery, maker claim |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weenect XT | $49.99, tracker only | Same features on every plan; $8.34 a month on the one-year plan | $150.07 | $300.07 | Up to 3 weeks in power saving, about 1 week continuous |
| Tractive GPS Dog 6 | $79 | Basic, $108 a year or $144 for two years | $187.00 | $331.00 | Up to 2 weeks with Power Saving Zones, up to 6 days without |
| Fi Series 3+ | About $189 at Chewy | One tier: $189 a year or $339 for two years | $378.00 | $717.00 | Up to 3 months |
| Halo Collar 5 | $524 on sale | Bronze, $9.99 a month; annual pays for 11 months | $633.89 | $843.68 | Up to 48 hours |
How the totals are built
Each total is the device price plus the cheapest plan that keeps live tracking on, billed the cheapest way the maker offers. Shipping and tax are left out. For 36 months the cheapest mix of a two-year plan and a one-year plan is used where the maker sells both.
The arithmetic is shown so you can check it. Tractive: $79 + $108 = $187, and $79 + $144 + $108 = $331. Fi: $189 + $189 = $378, and $189 + $339 + $189 = $717. Halo: $524 + ($9.99 x 11) = $633.89, and $524 + ($9.99 x 21) + ($9.99 x 11) = $843.68. Weenect: $49.99 + ($8.34 x 12) = $150.07, and $49.99 + ($6.25 x 24) + ($8.34 x 12) = $300.07.
Fi did not show a collar price on its own pages, so the $189 figure is the Chewy listing. Weenect states monthly rates, so its billed totals are calculated from those rates, and its tracker price is labeled inconsistently across options on its store. Halo’s $524 is a sale price, and its list price is higher.
What the cheapest plan leaves out
| Tracker | Cheaper plan does not include |
|---|---|
| Tractive GPS Dog 6 | Basic keeps 24 hours of history, works in one country, and omits family sharing and history export. Premium adds 365 days of history and worldwide coverage. |
| Fi Series 3+ | No cheaper tier exists. Plans carry a six-month minimum and auto-renew, and Fi refunds only within 30 days of a renewal charge. |
| Halo Collar 5 | Bronze gives basic tracking and up to 5 fences. Higher tiers add activity reports and more fences, up to unlimited on Gold. |
| Weenect XT | Every plan has the same tracking features. A $2.99 monthly Premium status extends Superlive sessions from 2 to 30 minutes. |
Two more figures worth knowing
The SpotOn GPS Fence is a different product, a virtual fence collar. The Nova edition lists at $999 and its plan costs $101.88 on the annual option, so the first year comes to $1,100.88 and three years to $1,280.64. The Invoxia tracker is left out because its device price could not be confirmed on a manufacturer page.
A tracker with no plan at all exists only in the radio category. The no-subscription tracker guide compares those options and explains their range limits.
How this page was put together
Each figure comes from the manufacturer’s plan or product page, or from a retailer listing where the manufacturer gives none, as the Editorial Policy describes. Plan prices change, so confirm the current price before buying.
