Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DoorRemote at 5.0 against BenchSentry's 2.8. BenchSentry's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (17% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DoorRemote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BenchSentry has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of BenchSentry's written reviews are positive against 0% of DoorRemote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BenchSentry ships an update every 5 weeks, DoorRemote every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
