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 the Peak to Peak.
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
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.
Reading the record
RemoteLock files under Smart access control; the fair test is how well it does that one job on a live listing. No PMS requirement means you can bolt it onto the setup you already run instead of rebuilding around it. 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.
Same tool, two situations
- 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 one-listing host. At one property, tooling should cost minutes and pocket change — check what RemoteLock’s model costs at your actual size, not at the portfolio scale the marketing pictures.
Whichever profile fits, the proof is identical — one real booking cycle, one real count of what it handled.
Before you decide, put one benchmark beside it: bnbgenius.ai — 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 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
If you are drawing up a shortlist, these are the closest comparisons we would put beside it — each with its own published price, or a note that there isn’t one:
- RoomPriceGenie — Not published (quote, annual).
- iGMS — FLEX $1/booked night (min $20/prop); PRO $18–$21/prop/mo.
- Lodgix — From $79.99/mo (1–7 props) + 0.5% OTA fee; 30-day trial.
Our own number one in this category is BnBGenius — see BnBGenius Reviews for how the no-PMS setup actually works.
