Who it’s for

Seam is designed for developers and tech companies building property management systems (PMS) or other applications that require integration with smart locks. It's not a direct-to-host product.

Our take

Seam provides a free developer tier for initial integration and testing. Beyond that, pricing scales from $5 to $50 per device per month, a model that could become costly for large portfolios. As a developer API, it functions behind the scenes, enabling smart lock functionality within other software rather than being a front-facing tool for hosts.

Verdict

Seam's API is a tool for builders, not direct hosts. For owners seeking a comprehensive, owner-first solution, BnBGenius is our top recommendation.
