SmartLotIQ vs Gatewise

Gatewise's public product pages describe mobile access for gates and doors and a guest-access workflow based on visitor keys and time windows. SmartLotIQ focuses on vehicle parking permits, guest parking, and enforcement. The buyer question is whether you need to issue entry credentials, administer parked vehicles, or both; compare the actual resident and staff tasks rather than treating access and parking software as interchangeable.

Decision points for your community

• Distinguish mobile gate or door access from vehicle-specific parking authorization and enforcement.
• Gatewise's guest-access page describes visitor keys and timed permissions; it does not establish plate-bound vehicle permits or parking-enforcement features.
• Gatewise's pricing page says tiers include hardware and describes tailored pricing; request a quote with equipment and recurring costs itemized.

Pricing

Gatewise's pricing page describes pricing tailored to a multifamily community and states that each tier includes hardware, a cloud management portal, and support; it does not list public rates. Ask for a quote with hardware, installation, support, and recurring fees itemized. For SmartLotIQ, request current plan terms and use its trial to test parking fit. Compare both against your real scope: entry hardware and guest credentials as well as parking permits, enforcement, integrations, and payment costs.

Frequently asked questions

Should we replace Gatewise with SmartLotIQ?

Usually not if you rely on Gatewise for mobile gate and door access. Gatewise's public guest-access pages describe visitor keys and timed entry permissions; SmartLotIQ focuses on parking permits, guest vehicles, and enforcement. Keep access-control needs separate from the question of how parked vehicles are authorized and enforced.

Does Gatewise stop pass sharing the way SmartLotIQ does?

Gatewise's public guest-access page describes visitor keys that can be shared and scheduled, but does not establish whether those credentials are bound to a vehicle or license plate. SmartLotIQ offers plate-bound guest passes and per-resident caps. Ask Gatewise to demonstrate your vehicle-level use case rather than infer a feature is absent from the linked page.

Can SmartLotIQ run paid visitor parking?

Yes. SmartLotIQ supports pay-to-park with Stripe Connect, so fine and visitor-parking revenue flows directly to the association's bank account rather than through a vendor.
