Comparison
Lockbox vs OEM app vs Levy Guestpass
Lockboxes are simple, OEM apps are powerful but manual, and Levy Guestpass is the auditable middle layer for hosts who need remote handoff without losing control.
| Need | Lockbox | OEM app | Levy Guestpass |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guest gets time-limited access | Manual code sharing | Host must usually trigger commands | Magic link gated by trip window |
| Host ID verification gate | Policy/process only | Policy/process only | Built into unlock gate |
| Wrong phone mitigation | Change code manually | Host coordinates manually | Phone edit disables active links |
| Exposed-link mitigation | Change code and notify guest | Remove app access manually | Rotate or revoke token |
| Audit log | Usually text threads | Provider/app history varies | Views, OTPs, denials, commands, support actions |
| Provider outage fallback | Physical key is primary | Guest waits for host | Guest sees fallback plus provider-specific help |
Use lockboxes when
Your car has no connected access, support volume is low, and code rotation is manageable.
Use OEM apps when
A host or staff member is available to coordinate each unlock and lock manually.
Use Guestpass when
You need guest self-serve access, host ID gates, rotation/revoke, and auditable command logs.
