GPS trackers
Weenect XS review
Published 20 June 2026
The cheapest to own over two years, which makes it the budget total-cost pick. Unlimited-range live tracking and a small form. The app and coverage are a step behind the leaders, so it trades polish for price.
Best for: Owners chasing the lowest two-year total cost

Common questions
Is Weenect the cheapest tracker to run?
Over two years, yes. Counting device plus subscription, Weenect works out the cheapest total package of the mainstream UK trackers, which is its main appeal.
What is the downside of Weenect?
Mainly the app, which testers found the slowest and least polished, and coverage that trails multi-network rivals like Tractive. It trades refinement for a low price.
Does Weenect do live tracking?
Yes, with unlimited range, so you can follow your pet in real time from any distance. The location updates are just less slick than the pricier options.
