Bulk AirTags: The Ultimate Guide to Purchasing AirTags in Bulk for Business
Are you searching for a cost-effective way to buy Apple AirTags in bulk for your business? AirPinpoint offers specialized bulk AirTag solutions that overcome the limitations of standard retail options while providing significant cost savings and enhanced functionality.
Current AirTag Pricing: What to Expect in 2026
Before exploring bulk options, here's the retail landscape:
| Purchase Option | Retail Price | Per-Unit Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Single AirTag (Apple) | $29 | $29.00 |
| 4-Pack (Apple) | $99 | $24.75 |
| 4-Pack (Amazon sale) | $65-79 | $16.25-19.75 |
| AirPinpoint Bulk (50+) | Custom quote | $18-22 |
| AirPinpoint Enterprise (200+) | Custom quote | $15-18 |
Key insight: Apple doesn't offer an official bulk discount program. Their business store provides the same pricing as consumer retail, with discounts typically around 8% or less. This creates an opportunity for third-party solutions like AirPinpoint to deliver real value for large deployments.
Why Businesses Choose to Buy AirTags in Bulk
The market for asset tracking has evolved significantly since Apple introduced AirTags in 2021. For businesses managing multiple assets, purchasing AirTags in bulk offers compelling advantages:
- Substantial Cost Savings: Our bulk AirTag pricing delivers 15-30% discounts compared to retail prices, with custom enterprise pricing available for larger orders.
- Elimination of Apple ID Limitations: Standard AirTags are limited to 32 tags per Apple ID, creating management headaches for businesses. Our bulk AirTag solution removes this restriction entirely.
- Extended Battery Performance: While retail AirTags typically require battery replacement after 12 months, our bulk AirTags feature enhanced power management providing up to 7+ years of battery life.
- Zero-Configuration Deployment: Each AirTag in your bulk order comes pre-configured and ready to deploy, eliminating the time-consuming setup process typically required.
The Apple ID Limit: A Critical Business Constraint
Standard Apple accounts have a hard limit of 32 items in Find My (recently increased from 16). But here's what catches most businesses off-guard:
Items That Count Toward Your 32 Limit
- Each AirTag = 1 item
- AirPods / AirPods Pro (1st gen) = 2 items each
- AirPods Pro (2nd gen) = 3 items each
- AirPods Max = 1 item
- Third-party Find My accessories = 1 item each
The Math Problem for Businesses
A company with 50 vehicles to track would need:
- 2 Apple IDs minimum to track all assets
- Separate iCloud logins for each set of AirTags
- No unified dashboard or reporting
- Manual reconciliation between accounts
- Potential for tags to be "orphaned" if an employee leaves with their Apple ID
AirPinpoint's solution: We manage the Apple ID infrastructure on your behalf, allowing unlimited AirTag tracking through a single business dashboard.
The Hidden Costs of DIY Bulk AirTag Deployment
When calculating the true cost of a bulk AirTag rollout, factor in:
| Cost Category | DIY Approach | AirPinpoint Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware purchase | Variable (retail pricing) | 15-30% discount |
| Apple ID management | Employee time (~$50-100/hr) | Included |
| Setup time per tag | 3-5 minutes | Pre-configured |
| Ongoing battery tracking | Manual checks | Dashboard alerts |
| Multi-account reconciliation | 1-2 hours/week | Not needed |
| Battery replacement labor | Per-tag visits | Extended 7+ year life |
For a 100-tag deployment, businesses typically save 200+ hours annually by using a managed solution versus DIY administration.
Bulk AirTag Pricing: What to Expect
When considering a bulk order of Apple AirTags, pricing transparency is essential. Here's what influences AirPinpoint's bulk AirTag pricing:
| Order Quantity | Discount Range | Additional Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| 20-49 units | 15-20% off retail | Free standard shipping |
| 50-199 units | 20-25% off retail | Free expedited shipping + basic dashboard |
| 200-499 units | 25-30% off retail | Free expedited shipping + advanced dashboard |
| 500+ units | 30%+ off retail | Custom enterprise solution with dedicated account manager |

Alternative Bulk Options: What Else Is Available
Custom Branded AirTags
Companies like iPromo offer custom-branded AirTags with your company logo laser-engraved. While they don't change the core functionality, branded tags can:
- Reinforce company ownership of tracked assets
- Deter casual theft (clearly marked as company property)
- Simplify identification during audits
Third-Party Find My Tags
Several manufacturers now produce Find My-compatible tags that work on Apple's network:
- Chipolo ONE Spot: Slightly louder speaker, similar battery life
- Pebblebee Card: Credit card form factor for wallets
- Various industrial tags: Ruggedized housings for harsh environments
Important caveat: Third-party tags still count toward the 32-item limit and require the same Apple ID management overhead.
How Our Bulk AirTag Solution Overcomes Apple's Limitations
Standard Apple AirTags present several challenges for businesses seeking to implement large-scale asset tracking:
1. The Apple ID Restriction Problem
Apple limits each Apple ID to managing only 32 AirTags, creating significant complications for businesses needing to track dozens, hundreds, or thousands of assets.
Our Solution: AirPinpoint's platform allows you to manage unlimited AirTags without Apple ID restrictions, providing a scalable solution for businesses of any size.
2. The Battery Replacement Challenge
With standard AirTags requiring battery replacement approximately every 12 months, maintaining a large deployment becomes time-consuming and expensive.
Our Solution: Our enhanced bulk AirTags feature optimized power management, extending battery life up to 7+ years and dramatically reducing maintenance requirements.
3. The Setup Bottleneck
Configuring each AirTag individually through an iPhone is impractical for large deployments, creating implementation delays.
Our Solution: Every AirTag in your bulk order arrives pre-configured and ready for immediate deployment, eliminating setup time entirely.
The Technology Advantage: Why AirTags Beat Traditional Trackers
When comparing bulk AirTag deployment to traditional GPS fleet tracking:
Network Coverage
- AirTags: Leverage 1.5+ billion Apple devices for crowdsourced tracking
- GPS trackers: Depend on cellular towers (spotty in rural/underground areas)
Battery Reality
- AirTags: CR2032 coin cell, 12+ months standard (7+ years with optimization)
- GPS trackers: Typically 2-4 weeks with daily updates, require recharging infrastructure
Indoor Performance
- AirTags: Work inside buildings, warehouses, parking garages
- GPS trackers: Lose signal indoors, require line-of-sight to sky
Total Cost (100 tags, 3 years)
- AirTags + AirPinpoint: ~$5,000-8,000 (hardware + service)
- Traditional GPS: ~$15,000-25,000 (hardware + monthly cellular)
