Enterkey vs Lowkey
Lowkey and Enterkey solve the same problem the same basic way: your apartment buzzer calls a virtual number, so you can answer from anywhere and buzz people in automatically. No hardware in either case. The differences come down to pricing structure, feature depth, and platform.

| Free trial | 14 days | One full month for new members |
| Hands-free entry | Auto-buzz | Timed keys (5 min–12 hr), weekly schedules, Forever keys with PIN |

How does pricing actually compare?
As of July 2026, Lowkey's entry plan bills annually at $137.97 (about $11.50/month) after a 14-day trial. Enterkey's annual plan is $69.99 — about $5.83/month — roughly half, and the trial runs a full month so you can test it through real deliveries and real guests before paying anything.
Both apps need your property manager to point the buzzer at your virtual number, so the trial length matters: a 14-day window can be half over before the panel change lands.
Where does each app go deeper?
Lowkey ships on Android as well as iOS — if your household is Android-first, that may decide it. Enterkey is iOS-only today, and goes deeper on entry control: keys that expire on their own, PINs guests can speak out loud, recurring schedules, shared household access, and a custom welcome message visitors hear when they buzz.
When they're the better pick
Pick Lowkey if you need Android support today.
When Enterkey is the better pick
Pick Enterkey for roughly half the annual price, a month-long trial, spoken guest PINs, schedules, and a support team that answers within hours.
Try it on your own buzzer — setup is one directory change by your property manager, and it costs nothing to find out.
