Best condo buzzer apps
Compare the leading smart buzzer platforms so you can deliver remote unlocks, guest codes, and concierge automations without guesswork.
How we evaluated the platforms
Smart buzzer apps fall into two categories: software that layers on top of existing hardware, and full-stack intercom upgrades that replace lobby equipment. We evaluated pricing, installation timelines, delivery automations, and portfolio management tools to help boards and property teams decide.
If you need a deeper dive on individual competitors, start with our Protobuzz vs. ButterflyMX comparison and the Protobuzz vs. Lowkey buzzer guide.
Top condo buzzer apps
Protobuzz
Software-first smart buzzer layered on top of existing intercom hardware. Includes call routing, automations, delivery windows, and calendar sync with optional Premium upgrades.
ButterflyMX
Hardware-centric intercom with video panels, mobile credentials, and cloud management. Ideal when you are renovating and willing to invest in new touchscreen directories.
Swiftlane
Access control platform combining video intercom, door readers, and mobile credentials. Great for mixed-use properties that need a full hardware refresh and visitor management.
Lowkey Buzzer
Consumer-focused buzzer forwarding tool with basic guest passcodes. Works well for smaller apartments, but lacks deep automation or portfolio tooling.
FreshBuzzer
Short-term rental oriented buzzer app that syncs with popular booking platforms. Strong for hosts, though enterprise reporting and multi-building controls are limited.
When Protobuzz is the right pick
Choose Protobuzz when you want to modernize access quickly, keep the wiring you already have, and unlock multi-building automations at software pricing. It is perfect for condos, co-ops, and short-term rental operators who need flexible schedules, guest codes, and concierge reporting.
If you are planning a full lobby renovation, compare Protobuzz with hardware-centric options like ButterflyMX or Swiftlane to see which mix of video, touchscreen directories, and budgeting aligns with your board’s plans.
