How Enterkey compares
Honest side-by-side comparisons, including where the alternative is the better pick.
Buzzer apps all do one thing at the core: they give your apartment buzzer a phone number that reaches you anywhere. They differ in what happens next.
Some only forward the call. Others, Enterkey included, can unlock the door on their own with timed keys, PINs and schedules, share one buzzer across a household, and greet visitors with a recorded message.
Coming from DoorBuzzin? It ended service on September 30, 2026, so a buzzer that pointed at it now rings into nothing. Here is how to get it working again, with or without Enterkey.

Newer buzzer apps
Three newer apps work the same way as the ones above: your buzzer dials a number they give you. We have not written full comparisons yet, so here is what each one's own site said when we checked on October 14, 2026, and who it suits.
Dingbot
A Canadian buzzer service with a local number that can ring several phones, automatic entry for up to 24 hours with an optional entry or voice password, and one plan that is free for the first 30 days. It installs from the browser instead of an app store, and the price is not listed on its homepage.
Worth a look if your household mixes iPhone and Android and you are happy with a web app.
Condo Buzzer
Forwarding only: a local number that rings up to four connected phones at once, managed from a web portal with no app. Plans start at $24 a year (CAD) for one phone on annual billing, with a 15-day free trial.
The cheapest route if all you need is several phones ringing and someone always answers.
Buzzly
Serves Canada and the United States with apps for iPhone and Android. Forwarding starts at $4 a month billed annually; virtual fobs and scheduled access start at $6 a month billed annually, and each plan includes a monthly allowance of call and entry units with overage at 5 cents a unit.
A fit for Android households that want scheduled entry and do not mind usage limits.
Against all three, Enterkey is iPhone only and one plan at $9.99 a month or $69.99 a year with a 14-day free trial, and it goes further on hands-free entry: timed keys, weekly schedules, PINs a guest can say out loud, and a recorded welcome message.
One headline difference is shown for each. Each comparison covers pricing, automation, sharing, and who should pick which. Competitor details are checked against their public sites (the date is on each page); confirm current pricing with them before you decide. Building-wide systems such as ButterflyMX are a different category: the landlord installs them, and residents cannot choose them alone, so that page explains when each makes sense.
Try it on your own buzzer
Two weeks free is enough to test it through real deliveries and real guests.
New members get their first 14 days free. Cancel anytime before it ends and pay nothing.
