Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Nuki Smart Lock at free against HOMYHUB's free with in-app purchases. Nuki Smart Lock also leads on ratings volume (524 vs 3). HOMYHUB's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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.
HOMYHUB holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nuki Smart Lock has 524 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Nuki Smart Lock's written reviews are positive against 85% of HOMYHUB's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
