The igloohome app allows users to manage their igloohome smart locks or igloohome smart keyboxes. Grant visitors access to your home or property from any time and place. Through the igloohome app, you can send a PIN code or Bluetooth key to anyone via email/SMS/Whatsapp/other communication platforms, for the duration that you select. Through the igloohome mobile app, you can also check the access logs to see who and when someone has entered your property. For Airbnb hosts: Make check-in and check-out smoother for you and your guests. When you synchronise your Airbnb account to the app (via Airbnb Connect), a PIN code is created for each guest when their booking is confirmed. This PIN code is sent to the guest for his/her to use on the igloohome smart lock/keybox when they arrive at your property, and is only valid for the period booked. No more fuss over key exchanges and missing/lost keys ever again.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Linkstyle at 75% against igloohome's 37%. Linkstyle also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). igloohome's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 11 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
igloohome holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: igloohome has 453 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of igloohome's written reviews are positive against 75% of Linkstyle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
igloohome ships an update every 6 weeks, Linkstyle every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
