GeoHook

On its own, iOS geofencing often reports arrivals and departures late — exits in particular can arrive several hundred meters down the road. GeoHook makes sure your automations fire on time: arrive, and the garage is already opening; drive off, and it closes right behind you. WHAT GEOHOOK DOES DIFFERENTLY • PRECISE ARRIVALS. As you approach an area, GeoHook switches to a high-accuracy iOS 17+ background location session ("Precision Monitoring") with exact-boundary detection, hysteresis, debounce and directional lead-in zones — so arrivals fire at the boundary, not minutes later. • PRECISE EXITS WHEN YOU DRIVE OFF (Premium). When your car connects via CarPlay or its Bluetooth hands-free system while you are still inside an area, GeoHook turns on precise location for up to five minutes. The exit is typically detected a few dozen meters past the boundary, and your exit actions run right away. A Shortcuts automation with GeoHook's "Vehicle connected" action wakes GeoHook even when it isn't running. No extra hardware needed. • YOUR CAR BECOMES A CONDITION. Fire a webhook only when your car is actually with you. GeoHook detects any car via CarPlay or its Bluetooth hands-free system (Premium), a Tesla via Phone Key, or any vehicle with an iBeacon on board. Your garage opens when you DRIVE home — not when you walk past. • HOW YOU ARRIVE BECOMES A CONDITION (Premium). Trigger different actions depending on whether you arrive on foot, by bike or motorized — detected on-device from your iPhone's motion, no extra hardware needed. Open the garage when you come home from your bike ride and keep the garage closed when you're just walking the dog past the house. • DRIVING FOCUS AS A CONDITION (Premium). Let webhooks depend on whether your iPhone's Driving Focus is active — set up once with a Shortcuts automation or a Focus filter. WORKS WITH YOUR SETUP Send HTTP webhooks (GET/POST/PUT/PATCH) to Home Assistant, Homey, IFTTT, n8n, Apple Shortcuts or any custom API. If it accepts a web request, GeoHook can trigger it. BUILT FOR CONTROL & TRANSPARENCY • Live status: watch your current motion state and CarPlay connection update in real time • Flowchart view of your trigger logic — see exactly why an action fires or doesn't • Detailed event timeline with a map of each trigger point, distance and request metrics • Per-area notifications and a status dashboard • AI help assistant on every screen — with a subscription and your consent, it checks your setup and finds out why something didn't fire • In-app debug tools and optional extended support from our team PRIVACY FIRST GeoHook never uploads your location or motion data — no cloud location storage, no tracking, no ads. Requests go only to the endpoints you configure. Webhook credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain. GDPR compliant. MORE • Monitor up to 20 areas, with multiple webhooks per area • iCloud config sync across your devices • Smart battery management • Apple Family Sharing support (Family plans) PRICING Core geofencing and webhooks are FREE FOREVER. • GeoHook Premium (monthly, Family plan available): precise exit with your car, movement conditions, CarPlay/hands-free car detection, Driving Focus — plus everything from Tesla & iBeacon. Precise exit starts from the CarPlay/hands-free connection, which is why it is part of Premium. • GeoHook Tesla & iBeacon (monthly): Tesla Phone Key detection, iBeacon vehicle and area detection.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ERP at none against GeoHook's 4. ERP also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
