Nuki Smart Lock Go vs Nuki Smart Lock Pro

Full Smart Door Locks comparison in 2026

Updated October 2026
Data from Amazon and official Nuki site.
2026 verdict
Two rungs of Nuki's retrofit lineup, and the Nuki Smart Lock Pro is the one to buy, with a rechargeable battery and a slimmer body in place of the Go's four AA cells.
On paper the two smart locks are otherwise the same product: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Matter over Thread, support for Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant, auto-lock after the door closes, geolocation auto-unlock, a two-year warranty and the same optional keypads for codes and fingerprints. What separates them is the power pack and the housing, 250 g against 335 g and a choice of colours on the Pro, remote access that comes included on the Pro but is a one-time purchase on the Go, plus owner reviews that favour the Pro. The Nuki Smart Lock Go still makes sense for a renter who prefers swapping AA batteries to charging a lock, and who wants the lower priced way into the Nuki app.

What the differences mean

Batteries

The Nuki Smart Lock Go runs on four AA batteries, so there is nothing to charge but a set of cells to replace. The Nuki Smart Lock Pro uses a built-in rechargeable battery rated for about 6 months, which means taking it down to charge but never buying batteries.

Size and weight

The Nuki Smart Lock Pro measures 57 x 70 mm and weighs 250 g, while the Nuki Smart Lock Go is a boxier 110 x 60 x 60 mm at 335 g. On the inside of a door, the Pro is the one that looks like a knob rather than a box.

Colours

The Nuki Smart Lock Pro is offered in more than one colour and the Nuki Smart Lock Go in one, a small point that matters only if the lock has to match the door hardware.

Remote access

The Nuki Smart Lock Pro lists remote access as included with its built-in Wi-Fi, while the Nuki Smart Lock Go lists it as a one-time purchase, so the Go costs more than its price suggests if you want to unlock from away.

Everything else

Connectivity, integrations, auto-lock, auto-unlock, alerts and the optional Keypad and Keypad 2 are listed identically for the Nuki Smart Lock Go and the Nuki Smart Lock Pro, so features do not decide between them.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both Nukis agree on the essentials: the lock mounts over the existing cylinder in minutes without damaging the door, and hands-free auto-unlock as you walk up with full bags is the feature they use most. The difference shows in what each group reports next. Nuki Smart Lock Go owners felt misled that remote access and Alexa needed a paid add-on, and several describe motor errors within the first year, along with AA batteries that swelled or leaked, even though Nuki replaced faulty units fast. Nuki Smart Lock Pro owners, some of them upgrading from the Go, single out Wi-Fi that worked without extra purchases, a strong, quick motor and a battery that charges fast. Their complaints are the cost once the fingerprint keypad is added and a few isolated battery or reliability cases.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall: Nuki Smart Lock Go or Nuki Smart Lock Pro?

The Nuki Smart Lock Pro. It shares every smart feature with the Nuki Smart Lock Go but adds a rechargeable battery, a smaller and lighter body and a choice of colours, and its owners rate it higher.

What are the differences between the Nuki Smart Lock Go and the Nuki Smart Lock Pro?

Power and housing. The Nuki Smart Lock Go runs on four AA batteries and measures 110 x 60 x 60 mm at 335 g, while the Nuki Smart Lock Pro has a built-in rechargeable battery and measures 57 x 70 mm at 250 g. Connectivity, Matter, integrations and auto-unlock are the same on both, though remote access is included on the Pro and a one-time purchase on the Go.

What is the Nuki Smart Lock Pro battery life?

The Nuki Smart Lock Pro is rated for about 6 months per charge on its built-in battery. The Nuki Smart Lock Go runs on four AA batteries and Nuki does not state a battery life for it.

Yes. Both are Matter locks over Thread and work with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant. Neither supports Apple Home Key or NFC.

Who should buy the Nuki Smart Lock Go?

Renters and first-time buyers with a European cylinder door who want Nuki's auto-unlock and app at the lower price, and who are happy running the lock on AA batteries.

Who should buy the Nuki Smart Lock Pro?

Anyone who wants the same Nuki features in a smaller, rechargeable lock, and who values the better owner feedback over the lower price of the Go.
