Enterkey vs Ringo
Ringo and Enterkey use the identical mechanism: your building's buzzer dials a dedicated phone number, and the app takes it from there — answer anywhere, buzz people in remotely. Where they split is what happens beyond forwarding: Ringo tiers its features across three plans, while Enterkey ships everything in one plan and leans harder on automation.
| Ringo | Enterkey | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware required | None | None |
| Pricing (checked July 2026) | Three tiers: $3.99, $5.99, and $18.99/month depending on phones and access codes | One plan with everything: $9.99/month or $69.99/year (about $5.83/month), with a one-month free trial for new members |
| Hands-free entry | Remote buzz-in; access codes on higher tiers | Timed auto-unlock keys, weekly schedules, Forever keys with PIN — included |
| Household phones | 2–5 depending on tier | Household sharing via invite link, included |
| Multiple properties | Up to 4 on the top tier | One building per account |

One plan or three tiers?
Ringo's entry tier is cheaper on paper — $3.99/month covers two phones — but access codes and more phones push you toward $5.99 or $18.99. Enterkey doesn't tier features: keys, schedules, PINs, and household sharing are all in the one plan, and the annual price works out to about $5.83/month.
One honest note the other way: Ringo's top tier covers up to four properties. Enterkey supports one building per account, so landlords juggling several buildings may find Ringo's Pro tier a better fit.
When they're the better pick
Pick Ringo if you only ever need basic forwarding on the cheapest tier, or you manage up to four properties on one account.
When Enterkey is the better pick
Pick Enterkey if you want automation included rather than tiered away — timed keys, schedules, spoken PINs, and household access in one price, tested free for a month.
Try it on your own buzzer — setup is one directory change by your property manager, and it costs nothing to find out.
