What the marketing price hides
The Microchip Pet Door Connect is marketed at $229, which is 86% of what you'll actually spend over three years. Honestly? Not much. There's no subscription, and the only recurring cost is $1/mo in non-proprietary consumables (batteries) you can buy anywhere.
One more thing the listing won't emphasize: the core function works without the cloud. If the app is discontinued or your Wi-Fi drops, the device keeps doing its job. See the full Microchip Pet Door Connect verdict for the score breakdown, or compare it inside its category on the device database.
