Frequently asked questions

Key management software in 6 answers

  • How much does key management software cost?

    With Log+Key, you start with up to 10 keys free — all features, any number of users, with no time limit. Beyond that, pricing depends on the number of keys you need to manage: €39 / month for up to 100 keys, €69 / month for up to 250 keys, and €149 / month from 1,000 keys upwards. See all prices at a glance.

  • What are the advantages of software over a key safe?

    A key safe secures keys physically — but it doesn’t answer the question of who last had a key or when it was returned. Software like Log+Key documents every movement digitally, gives everyone on the team a live overview, and enables handovers to external parties (e.g. tradespeople) with a traceable signature. A key safe and software can also be combined — we connect common key-safe providers such as SimonsVoss via the Wiegand interface. You’ll find the detailed head-to-head under Log+Key vs. key safe; for a broader overview of all electronic solution types, see electronic key management. For a conceptual introduction, read What is a key management system?

  • Do we need any special hardware?

    No. Log+Key runs on any smartphone, tablet, or computer with a browser — no installation, no mandatory hardware. Optionally, NFC tags (€2 each) make it easy to scan at the key ring, and a wall terminal provides a fixed point of contact in the office or store room. Neither is required. To see exactly how it feels to use on a smartphone, take a look at the key management app page.

  • Can the software also manage inventory?

    Yes. In Log+Key, keys are simply the most common object type — you manage tools, devices, vehicles or first-aid kits with the same borrow-and-return workflows, including stocktaking by NFC scan. More on the Log+Key as an inventory system page.

  • Can we try the software for free first?

    Yes. With the free tier, you can manage up to 10 keys permanently, with all features and any number of users — try it for free. For larger test setups, we’re happy to set up a trial account with around 50 NFC tags for 2–3 weeks on request. Request trial access.

  • Is the software GDPR-compliant?

    Yes. Hosting is exclusively in Germany, a data processing agreement (DPA) is in place, and we’re happy to give you specific details on the technical implementation. More about security.

  • How quickly are we up and running with the software?

    With the free tier, you’re ready to go in minutes — create an account, register your first keys, and off you go. For larger roll-outs with NFC tags and/or a terminal, expect 2–4 weeks from signing to going live. The bottleneck is usually the delivery of the tags — on request, we’ll number and stick them to your key rings beforehand.

  • Is Log+Key worth it compared with Excel or a key logbook?

    Excel and the classic key logbook work for small teams — but as soon as several people document at once, shifts change, or mobile handovers come up, keeping them up to date quickly becomes a full-time job. You’ll find the detailed comparison (incl. table) under Log+Key vs. Excel key logbook.
