Pros and cons
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.
Welock
Pros
- No subscription attached: monitoring runs at €0 and the contract is 0 months, so there is nothing to renew.
- The app is free and includes Bluetooth unlock with access sharing, so a spare key or code can be issued to someone from a phone.
- Entry price of €119 sits below the smart lock category median of €87.69, so a fitted cylinder costs less than a typical one.
Cons
- Professional monitoring is off, so the lock secures the door and shares access but does not alert anyone during an intrusion.
- The range covers smart lock only, so cameras, sensors or an alarm panel have to come from another maker.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, so there is no phone line for a lock that has to be fitted to a door.
Who each suits
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.
Welock
Who it suits
- Homeowners or renters swapping an existing cylinder who want no monthly fee after the purchase
- People already using the voice assistant listed in alexa elsewhere in the house
- Buyers who want a battery lock that runs on its own, with the model listed as diy
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants professional monitoring, because that option is off and no response desk is offered
- Households wanting cameras or alarms in the same basket, since the range is smart lock only
- Smart home setups built on other ecosystems, as voice support covers alexa alone

Questions about each
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.
Welock
How much does a Welock smart lock cost?+
The entry price is €119 for the lock, with no subscription layered on top. The smart lock category median on this site is €87.69, and Welock sits below it. Returns run for 30 days if the cylinder does not suit your door.
Is there a monthly fee for a Welock lock?+
No. Monitoring runs at €0, so there is nothing to pay each month. The contract is also 0 months, meaning there is no minimum term to serve and nothing to renew. You buy the hardware and that is the cost.
