# Lorex Ping 2 vs Security Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Security Camera at 3.7 against Lorex Ping 2's 1.7. Lorex Ping 2's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (12% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Security Camera sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Lorex Ping 2 asks for nothing beyond the download.
