Pick your tier

Four choices: no upsell tricks.

Every tier is priced from the factory cost up. We publish the parts list and the margin. No fake "premium" features invented to push you to the next tier, only real material and capability differences.

What makes it different

Why it's built this way.

AirTag was the right form factor with the wrong values. WanderTag is small, finds the things you lose, and never tells a platform where you've been.

No. 01
LoRa community mesh, no subscription on Mini
Tag Mini is designed to work with WanderSafeMesh, the nonprofit community mesh (wanderingwithpride.org), so you could find your bag anywhere the mesh reaches, with no monthly fee.
No. 02
Trust-contacts only, never platform-broadcast
Your tag's location is shared with the people you pre-designated, period. No Find My-style 'all Apple devices help locate' opt-in shadow. No platform sees you.
No. 03
Anti-stalker disclosure built in
Per FCC/EU tracker rules, the tag emits a discoverable beacon when separated from its owner. We honor the rule, and we let survivors disable it explicitly with risk-acknowledgment.
What we won't do
  • We won't help platforms surveil: no Apple Find My participation, no Google Nearby integration, no Amazon Sidewalk.
  • We won't require a paid plan to find your stuff: Mini is subscription-free forever.
  • We won't ship a stalker tool: anti-stalker disclosure is on by default and the survivor-disable mode requires explicit risk-acknowledgment.
How it plays with others

Three ways to use it, no walled garden.

This product is designed to work by itself, to work with whatever you already own, and to go deeper if you pair it with the rest of the WanderVerse. Your choice, not ours.

On its own
Standalone

Planned: power it up and use it, with no cloud account and no internet required.

Standalone
With the industry
Apple · Google · Matter · HA

Designed to work with what you already have, using open standards, not just our own.

With WanderVerse
Paired, deeper

Planned: pair it with a WanderNode Hub and the devices talk to each other.

WanderNode Hub

Your dollar knows where it goes.

If WanderTag ships, each sale would feed three places: the Ambassador who built it, a community-held HYSA, and the WWP 501(c)(3) Community Pool, which funds LGBTQ+ scholarships, free devices for survivors, and harm-reduction grants. No quarterly earnings call. No activist investor. No rug-pull.

60% Ambassador wages
10% PrideFund HYSA
30% WWP Community Pool

All three splits would go to work before a single dollar reaches Michael. He would be paid by W-2, like anyone else.
