The published facts, in plain English
RemoteLock is Smart access control. On cost, the published figure is $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
This service suits property owners looking for a mid-sized access control solution. It accommodates those who may already use a property management system (PMS), as it offers partial PMS integration.
Our take
RemoteLock's pricing is straightforward at $6 per door per month for Premium and $12 per door for Enterprise. The service is noted for its ability to work with brand-agnostic locks and sync codes with a PMS, allowing for quick setup per door. A free tier is not available.
How it compares to BnBGenius
On the published figures alone, RemoteLock shows $6/door/mo (Premium) / $12/door (Enterprise) and BnBGenius shows free for the first 500 messages, then $10/month flat, with no PMS required. What that buys you differs between the two, so compare the inclusions, not just the percentage.
Verdict
RemoteLock provides a solid, mid-tier smart access solution, though it lacks a free tier. For an owner-first alternative, consider BnBGenius.

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.
