Pros and cons
Desloc
Pros
- Entry price of $39.99 is far below the smart lock entry median of €100.84
- App control and remote control come with no gateway required, so there is no hub to add later
- 0 months contract months and no professional monitoring, so nothing renews and nothing bills monthly
Cons
- Range is narrow: product types cover smart locks only, so there is no camera or sensor to add to the same system
- Professional monitoring is not offered, so break-ins get no call-out from a monitoring centre
- The product type listed is DIY, which suits confident installers more than people booking a locksmith
Moes
Pros
- Entry devices come in at €14.95, under the site median of €96.46 for starting prices.
- Recurring cost is €0 a month on a 0 months contract, so there is nothing to renew later.
- Heating, lighting, plugs, sensors, blinds, cameras, doorbells, locks and alarms are all sold by one brand, listed under alarm, camera and smart lock.
Cons
- A hub is required, so the entry price of €14.95 does not cover a working starter system and the hub sits among the listed thermostat, trv and lighting.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, with no phone line among the listed routes to help.
- Professional monitoring is not offered, so alarm, camera and lock owners handle their own alerts rather than relying on a watching service.
Who each suits
Desloc
Who it suits
- Renters and homeowners who want remote entry control on one door and nothing more
- People who want local access history on the lock instead of a cloud storage subscription
- US households already using Alexa or Google for voice control
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants a camera, sensor or alarm panel from the same brand
- Households that need professional monitoring call-outs
- Buyers outside the US who want a brand with an established UK range, such as Aqara
Moes
Who it suits
- Homeowners and renters who want heating, lighting, plugs, blinds and cameras bought from a single seller.
- Anyone who will not pay a monthly monitoring fee and prefers card recording at home to a cloud plan.
- Households already running Alexa, Google or HomeKit who want Matter and Thread kit to join the same home.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers on the smallest possible budget, since SONOFF starts lower at €6.16.
- Buyers who would rather deal with a lighting and heating specialist, since Aqara lists hub, sensor and lighting and Lutron lists lighting, blinds and thermostat.
- Anyone who wants a watching service to respond to alarms, since professional monitoring is not offered.

Questions about each
Desloc
How much does a Desloc smart lock cost?+
Desloc locks start at $39.99, which is well under the €100.84 median entry price for smart locks. On price, Desloc ranks 23 of 70 brands, so it reads as a budget choice. The price you see is the price you pay, with no add-ons to price in later.
Is there a monthly fee or contract with a Desloc lock?+
There is no subscription to think about. The contract length is 0 months, and professional monitoring is not offered, so nothing is billed monthly for the lock itself. App control and remote control come with no gateway required, which also removes the cost of a hub or its service plan.
Moes
What does a Moes device cost at entry?+
The cheapest listed Moes devices start at €14.95, which sits below the site median of €96.46 for entry pricing across the brands listed here. Cameras sit higher, at €50.95 for the range. Buyers pay for hardware only, so the outlay is the whole cost rather than a first instalment followed by fees.
What do I need before I start a Moes setup?+
A hub is required, so budget for that before the individual devices. The range covers thermostats, radiator valves, lighting, plugs, hubs, sensors and blinds under thermostat, trv and lighting. Once the hub is running, the rest of the kit talks to it over matter, thread and zigbee rather than needing separate bridges for each standard.
