Of course they are different. An ankle monitor clamps on externally; a microchip is placed by a surgical implant. You can argue that it's "minor" but, as far as I know, at least under the laws of my state if the skin is broken it's legally a surgical procedure. Removing an ankle monitor involves unlocking it. Removing a microchip requires a second surgical procedure.
They are VERY different, IMHO.
