Tres perfiles de usuario diferenciados permiten al hotel integrar los dispositivos BLE y la APP en su plan general de control de accesos manteniendo los niveles de seguridad preestablecidos. Por defecto las llaves electrónicas se generan y envían desde el software de recepción y, pensado para casos puntuales o emergencias, el administrador de la instalación también puede crear y enviar llaves para apertura bluetooth desde su propio Smartphone. Una vez que el empleado efectúa una auditoria, esta se replica de modo automático en el servidor del sistema, quedando así visible en el software de gestión y en la APP para el perfil de administrador.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Chargy at 5.0 against Upkey's 1.0. Chargy also leads on review sentiment (39% vs 0%) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Upkey's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
