Society visitor gate: MyGate vs Plinth

When a dedicated gate app is enough
If your only need is intercom replacement and you never run formal online polls or audited billing, a gate-first app may suffice.
When Plinth fits better
Choose Plinth when the committee wants gate security and governance on one platform the same flat owners who vote on maintenance hikes also pre-approve visitors, and treasurers do not maintain a separate owner list.
Plinth does not replace a full CCTV or boom-barrier hardware stack; it digitises who approved whom and when they crossed the gate, tied to your society's member records.
