Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nuki Smart Lock at none against Snoop Cube's 86. Nuki Smart Lock also leads on ratings volume (510 vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Snoop Cube's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Snoop Cube sells 74 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Nuki Smart Lock asks for nothing beyond the download.
Snoop Cube 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 510 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 89% of Snoop Cube's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Nuki Smart Lock ships an update every 3 weeks, Snoop Cube every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
