Geokey is the world's first multi-dimensional mobile access solution for businesses. No more key fobs, just your phone. Touchless access is here. A simple swipe to open is all it takes. Geokey is not a one-size-fits-all type of security solution. We can integrate with any type of door or software. Our job is to incorporate seamlessly into your life. Users can log in to control (lock/unlock) and interact with available access points supplied via a list view and map view. Track how many times you accessed a point, what time's of the day you were there, and HOW LONG YOU WERE THERE FOR! Download your Geokey to be apart of one of the first controlled access solutions that will track duration of access. Admin controllers have the ability to control when and which access points their users can have access to. Define user's access by day of the week, time of the day, or by the number of access points. Simplicity for our users is our motto and mission. Get a push notification if you are close to an access point. Pull up your app and unlock your access point to enter. Even though Geokey has a simple front end user experience, the backend has extra security measures to keep everyone safe. Admin can choose if users are required to use two-factor identification for access to their Geokey. Make sure the people that are coming in are the people they say they are.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: U at 3.5 against Geokey's 1.5. U also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Geokey's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support 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.
U holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Geokey has 607 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Geokey's written reviews are positive against 0% of U's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Geokey ships an update every 3 weeks, U every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
