I never heard of that brand. Also the device described and picture showed on SL doesn't match. It looks like more like a deadbolt. For that price I would rather get the Yale smart lock with zwave. That is a brand name and includes the zwave controller to use it remotely. It doesn't include the fingerprint opening but I wouldn't trust fingerprint for my front door anyway.

For folks who are looking for fingerprint + remote unlocking/locking + key code entry + physical key entry, this is an excellent option. (One could also turn off the fingerprint option if it scares you).

For the remote unlocking according to the description you need to buy an additional module.

That's correct. The combo package for that usually runs $20 more. Otherwise it's $50 to buy separately after the fact, which you don't want to do. I have seen the combo deal for ~$150 or less on occasion.
EDIT: Using the info from the wirecutter article, you can get the combo for $135 which is an amazing deal.
One BIG limitation is the wifi module has to be within line of sight of the lock, or at least it did for the earlier version. (Wirecutter talks about how this one current version is improved over the original, not sure if wifi range is part of that improvement). So if you don't have a usable outlet RIGHT next to the door, it will function very poorly. I think their manual recommended literally 10 feet or less.
The company also came out with a newer model altogether which integrates the wifi within the lock, which runs $250 retail.
All in all, someone interested in smart locks will want to take into account their individual needs and aesthetic sense. I have the older version and it works quite well for my purposes, which included having babysitter access via fingerprint. The external 'footprint' is really nice as it's just a square block where the deadbolt should be. If someone already has Zwave devices, that's a good way to go as well. As you mentioned, and I agree, Zwave devices have well established security.
When I did my deep dive into smartlocks last year, I originally tried a Wyze. However, anyone who wanted to access the 'smarts' of it needed the app + cell phone, unless you wanted to stick on a very ugly external keypad. Same with the August. I didn't think requesting for every contractor or babysitter to install an app just for my door was reasonable. Also, these other systems couldn't limit the time/days when their access was available. Like, weekdays from 9-5, for a nanny. The U-tec app does.
In summary, I'm a fan of U-tec's implementation, though there are definitely some drawbacks + limitations.

U-bolt pros:
The fingerprint option is really slick and works well.
Keypad is built-in and not a separate add-on to stick somewhere.
Able to schedule when guest keycodes OR fingerprints are active or not. (Not sure if Wyze app has added this, it's been >1 year when I was using it).
U-bolt can integrate into Alexa or Google Home.
Wyze pros:
Don't need to replace the whole lock. Keep the same key.
Exterior of door looks exactly the same.
Integrates into the Wyze system as well as Alex and Google Home.
I think Wyze has a door position sensor (can tell when door is fully closed or not so it won't try to close and jam itself). Only the latest, more expensive version of the U-bolt with integrated wifi has this.
Wyze dongle/gateway has normal range. Ubolt wifi adapter has stupidly low range (in version 1, not sure about version 2).
In the end, if you trust a fingerprint entry system, it is SO simple and easy.
Using the link from the wirecutter rec, the two are almost the same price ($120 vs $135) if you include the keypad add-on.

The site they were referencing was at Wellbots.com. There are a few coupons you might find that drop your price $10 or more.
I snagged 3 for my deadbolt replacements!!!
