2026 verdict
Pick the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo if you want a European cylinder smart lock that opens with your face, fingerprint or a code straight out of the box.
The combo bundles the lock with a Keypad Vision and a hub, so 3D face recognition, fingerprint, passcodes and NFC are all included, along with emergency fingerprint, away auto-lock, a door sensor and tamper alerts, and a battery rated for about 9 months. The Nuki Smart Lock Go keeps two real advantages: a two-year warranty against one, and Wi-Fi and Thread radios in the lock itself, where the SwitchBot talks Bluetooth and reaches Wi-Fi and Matter through its hub. Both retrofit over the existing cylinder, keep the key and work with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant. Choose the Nuki Smart Lock Go for the simplest, lower priced phone and auto-unlock setup, and the SwitchBot for every entry method in one box.

What the differences mean
What is in the box
The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo ships with the lock, a Keypad Vision with face recognition and fingerprint, and a hub. The Nuki Smart Lock Go is the lock alone: a keypad for codes, or a Keypad 2 for fingerprints, is a separate purchase.
Entry methods
With the combo you can open by face, fingerprint, code, NFC tag, app or key, with an emergency fingerprint as well. The Nuki Smart Lock Go opens by app, Bluetooth, auto-unlock or key, and has no NFC.
How it connects
The Nuki Smart Lock Go has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Thread in the lock. The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo uses Bluetooth and depends on the included hub for Wi-Fi and Matter, so the hub has to stay plugged in within range.
Battery
The SwitchBot runs on three rechargeable 18350 cells rated for about 9 months, with a CR123A as backup. The Nuki Smart Lock Go uses four AA batteries and Nuki publishes no battery life for it.
Alerts and sensing
The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo adds a door open-close sensor, tamper alerts and alerts after repeated failed attempts. The Nuki Smart Lock Go reports lock and unlock events and low battery, but lists none of those three.
Which one to buy if
- you often arrive with your hands full
Face recognition on the SwitchBot keypad opens the door with no phone, key or touch.
- you want the lock to connect without a separate hub
The Nuki Smart Lock Go has Wi-Fi and Thread in the lock itself.
- guests need their own codes
The combo includes a keypad with one-time and periodic codes, which the Nuki needs an accessory for.
- a longer warranty matters to you
Nuki covers the Nuki Smart Lock Go for two years, SwitchBot its lock for one.

What owners say
Owners of both locks agree that fitting them over a euro cylinder is quick and drill-free, and both groups mention faulty units that the brand replaced. After that they notice different things. SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo owners rave about walking up with full hands and getting in by face, about temporary codes for guests and, if they had the older Pro Lock, about calibration that no longer locks them out; their warnings are rare but serious, a face match for a similar-looking relative and one lock opening on its own. Nuki Smart Lock Go owners love hands-free auto-unlock from the phone and a polished app, but felt misled that remote access and Alexa needed a paid add-on, and several describe motor errors within the first year and AA batteries that leaked.
