What the differences mean

Face and fingerprint entry

The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo includes a keypad with 3D face recognition and a fingerprint reader. With the Nuki Smart Lock Pro, fingerprints need the Keypad 2 accessory and face unlock is not an option.

Apple Home Key and NFC

The SwitchBot supports both, so an iPhone, an Apple Watch or an NFC tag can open the door. The Nuki Smart Lock Pro has neither and relies on the Nuki app, Matter and auto-unlock.

Battery life

The SwitchBot is rated for about 9 months on three 18350 cells, with a CR123A as backup. The Nuki Smart Lock Pro is rated for about 6 months on its built-in battery and lists no backup, so it needs charging more often.

Radios and hub

The Nuki Smart Lock Pro connects on its own over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Thread. The SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo talks Bluetooth and uses the included hub for Wi-Fi and Matter, one more device to keep plugged in.

Size on the door

The Nuki Smart Lock Pro is 57 x 70 mm and 250 g. The SwitchBot lock is 122 x 62.6 x 66.8 mm and 367 g, a noticeably bigger unit on the inside of the door.

What owners say

Owners of both locks report an easy, drill-free install over the cylinder and a build that feels solid. What each group singles out is different. SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo owners are won over by 3D face recognition that opens the door before they touch anything, by guest codes and, coming from the Pro Lock, by calibration that finally stays put; their concerns are faulty first units, support that takes some back-and-forth, and isolated reports of a face match for a lookalike relative and a self-unlock at night. Nuki Smart Lock Pro owners praise a strong, fast motor, a rechargeable battery that charges quickly and Wi-Fi that did not cost extra, and they call hands-free auto-unlock the feature they use most. Their complaints are the price of the full setup with the fingerprint keypad and a couple of battery failures.

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