RemoteLock vs Swiftlane

RemoteLock is cloud-based access control software for remotely managing property access. Its unified dashboard shows device status, recent activity, user access, issues, and alerts. Administrators can create custom roles and groups for staff and vendors, while audit logs record actions and configuration changes. Automated workflows can respond to bookings, schedules, or events, and an open API supports custom workflows. Integrations include Airbnb, AppFolio, and hardware and software partners. The Resident App uses Bluetooth Low Energy credentials that RemoteLock says work offline. It supports Android, iOS, web, and API access, along with visitor management, access schedules, audit logs, and lock and gate support. Annual Premium plans start at $6 per month. Portfolios with 10 or more multifamily doors must contact the company for pricing. There is no free plan.

Swiftlane combines cloud-based access control and video intercom for buildings and communities. Access methods include face recognition, mobile access, visitor PINs, key cards, and voice-enabled unlock. Residents can answer two-way video and audio intercom calls from a phone or computer and unlock doors remotely. The mobile access app is listed for iOS and Android, alongside web access. Resident Basic includes video intercom access, resident and visitor PINs, Bluetooth, and remote unlock. Resident Premium adds face recognition, video calls to the intercom, photo capture, and intercom and PIN access logs. RentGPT is a free multilingual AI leasing chatbot that can be added to an apartment website and is pre-trained on property information. Listed integrations cover property management software, Yale and Igloo Home smart locks, Eagle Eye Networks surveillance, and Brivo access control. Swiftlane says the Brivo connection syncs users and supports remote unlocking through an API without extra hardware. Pricing is on request, though a motion detection video clips add-on is listed at $30 a month per intercom device.
