Those stalking devices might be harder to detect, but are they as effective as AirTag? IIRC the innovation behind AirTag is that they don't require network connectivity. The devices you mentioned might require cellular network or WiFi, and the former is linked to the criminal's identity and the latter is not available everywhere.

And, each AirTag must be linked to an Apple account. If you find an AirTag, hold your phone near and it will give you the full serial number and the last four digits of the phone number associated with it. I’m sure Apple has all sorts of additional information, related to that account, that could be given to the authorities.
