Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lorex Classic at 4.6 against SCW EasyView Mobile's 3.2. Lorex Classic also leads on ratings volume (25K vs 9) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). SCW EasyView Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 20%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Lorex Classic holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lorex Classic has 25K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of SCW EasyView Mobile's written reviews are positive against 20% of Lorex Classic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SCW EasyView Mobile ships an update every 6 months, Lorex Classic every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
