YOUR SHORTLIST, SIDE BY SIDE

Compare smart access

Compare access-management software with physical locks. First choose the booking-to-door workflow, then confirm the exact lock model, connecting interface, power/connectivity and fallback entry. Hardware purchase and software/integration subscriptions are separate; prices below are vendor terms, not installed-system or portfolio quotes.

DecisionRemoteLockSoftwareLynxSoftware
What it doesCloud access-management software for compatible doors; physical locks are a separate purchase.Software for reservation-linked access and connected-property workflows, with access, guest-portal and messaging modules; locks/installation are separate.
Fit for a small hostEditorial inference: consider a separate platform for a documented booking-to-lock task or multiple compatible doors. Check existing PMS automation first; Hospitable offers no new RemoteLock connections, although configured users may continue.Editorial inference: 1–10-property suitability depends on the proposed modules, onboarding minimum and exact lock/PMS combination; no fixed small-portfolio price is established.

Setup and prerequisitesConfirm exact lock model/region, bridge and PMS plan, then map property to lock. OwnerRez allows one lock system per property, with different systems across a portfolio.Check exact lock variant/module, account entitlement and configured workflows. OwnerRez uses Manual Lock integration, Lynx authorization/property mapping and message templates/triggers to deliver returned codes.
ConnectionsOwnerRez documents guest-code creation, booking changes and cancellations on supported programmable locks. ResortLock algorithmic codes cannot be cancelled and date changes need a new code; its Igloo route needs shorter reservations for stays over 28 days.OwnerRez, Lodgify and Hospitable are listed; Beds24, Smoobu and Rentals United are Coming Soon, not established live. Guesty two-way documentation does not specify the Guesty tier or establish Lite compatibility.
Daily operational jobManage ongoing Access Users and temporary Access Guests. Unscheduled Access Users have 24/7 access; recurring schedules vary by model, including Encode users but not guests. Stay start/end credentials are a different function.Generate stay-window codes from reservations and manage staff users/groups, delegation and task-status workflows. These are software functions, not included cleaning labor.
Main limitationsAPI delivery can be pending, synced or failed. Already-stored valid credentials can work offline on compatible powered locks; remote grants/revocation/audits still need connectivity and this does not solve dead batteries. Door groups may require a plan upgrade.Issued codes can be retained locally during internet outages only with supported powered devices and prior successful synchronization; pending changes/revocation are not assured. OwnerRez schedulers/webhooks do not establish instant delivery.
