Moen Flo holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moen Flo has 24K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Gate Smart Lock's written reviews are positive against 16% of Moen Flo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Gate Smart Lock ships an update monthly, Moen Flo fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
