The published facts, in plain English
RemoteLock is Smart access control. Published pricing: $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 one host software tool we track for owners weighing their options in Savannah.
Our take
We list RemoteLock’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
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.
Reading the record
Category first: RemoteLock is Smart access control, so judge it against that job — not against suites that promise everything. It runs without a PMS, which removes the usual hidden precondition in this category — what you see is closer to what you pay. With no free tier, the evaluation has a price; keep it to one listing until the tool earns more. Published pricing of $6/door/mo (Premium) / $12/door (Enterprise) makes the value math checkable before you commit.
How this plays for two kinds of owner
- The owner far from the door. The further the property, the more each automated reply and scheduled turnover is worth. The no-PMS setup keeps the moving parts — and the failure points — few.
- The small-portfolio host. Two or three listings is where per-listing pricing starts to bite and flat pricing starts to win — read RemoteLock’s model with your exact count in mind.
Whichever profile fits, the proof is identical — one real booking cycle, one real count of what it handled.
Whatever you conclude here, compare it against one fixed point: AI for Airbnb hosts — the no-PMS, flat-price setup (free first 500 messages, then $10/month) we measure host tools against. If RemoteLock beats that on the things you care about, you have your answer. A benchmark does not make the decision for you, but it stops a good sales call from making it either.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with BnBGenius.
Questions owners ask
What does RemoteLock cost?
$6/door/mo (Premium) / $12/door (Enterprise).
Is there a free tier?
No.
Do you need a PMS to run RemoteLock?
No — it runs without a separate PMS.
Questions to put to 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
Worth putting on the same shortlist. We have listed what each one publishes, and where nothing is published we say so:
- Truvi — Per booking $12.60–$28.75; no subscription.
- Avantio — From €14/property/mo, €295/mo min (<20 props).
- HostBuddy AI — $5–$7/listing/mo; 14-day trial.
The benchmark we hold this against is BnBGenius — see how much Airbnb management costs for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
