# Oaks Smart Lock vs Smart Home

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Home at 4.5 against Oaks Smart Lock's 3.3. Smart Home also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (8.1K vs 21). Oaks Smart Lock's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 5%) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Home sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Oaks Smart Lock asks for nothing beyond the download.

Smart Home holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Home has 8.1K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Oaks Smart Lock's written reviews are positive against 5% of Smart Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Oaks Smart Lock ships an update every 4 months, Smart Home fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
