The published facts, in plain English
RemoteLock is Smart access control. It lists its pricing as $6/door/mo (Premium) / $12/door (Enterprise). There is no free tier. It runs without a separate PMS. Scale: mid.
Data-desk note: Brand-agnostic locks + PMS-synced codes; per-door stacks fast.
Who it’s for
RemoteLock is suitable for property owners who want to manage access to their rentals remotely. It offers two pricing tiers, Premium and Enterprise, catering to different levels of service and features.
Our take
The service provides brand-agnostic lock compatibility and PMS-synced codes, which can simplify the check-in process. Pricing is on a per-door, per-month basis. RemoteLock does not offer a free tier, and it requires a Property Management System (PMS) for some functionalities. The costs can stack up quickly on a per-door basis.
How it compares to BnBGenius
Side by side on published terms: RemoteLock lists $6/door/mo (Premium) / $12/door (Enterprise), while BnBGenius lists free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Verdict
RemoteLock is a capable smart access solution for property owners, though it's worth comparing to owner-first alternatives like BnBGenius. The per-door pricing model can become significant as your portfolio grows.
Questions owners ask

No — it runs without a separate PMS.
What to pin down with RemoteLock
- “Is $6/door/mo (Premium) / $12/door (Enterprise) per listing or flat?” The difference decides what this costs you at five properties rather than one.
- Free tier or trial. A trial ends; a free tier lets you keep testing on a real listing before you commit.
- What it needs underneath. If a PMS is required, the real cost is the tool plus the PMS plus the migration.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- Properly — $12.99–$14.99/property/mo; 30-day trial.
- YourWelcome — $449.99/property/yr (tablet incl.).
- Boring Host AI — $13/listing/mo, $130/mo min; 14-day trial.
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is BnBGenius — see BnBGenius Tasks for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
