Cat GPS tracker app: compare trackers and use one app for all of them

Every tracker brand ships its own app, and none of them talk to each other. Here's how the popular cat trackers compare — and how to view them all in one place.

Updated August 2026

The trackers cat owners actually use

  • Tractive — the most common cat GPS; light, live tracking, monthly fee.
  • Weenect — small and accurate, good battery for its size.
  • PAJ — robust, longer battery, slightly bulkier.
  • Kippy — adds activity and sleep data.
  • MiniFinder — popular in the Nordics, strong coverage.
  • Apple AirTag — cheapest, no fee, but needs iPhones nearby to report.

What matters for a cat (not a dog)

Weight first: anything above roughly 30 grams is uncomfortable on a cat's neck. Then battery, then update interval. Range and waterproofing rarely decide it.

One app for all of them

Catlantic connects to each brand and shows every cat on one map, whatever tag they wear. You get the same route history, territory outline, encounter detection and badges no matter which company sold the hardware — and if you switch brands, the history stays.

No tracker yet?

You can still draw your cat's territory by hand on the map, meet neighbouring cats and collect badges. Add a tracker later and the map fills in automatically.
