Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Leviton at 84% against Lorex Pro's 19%. My Leviton also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). Lorex Pro's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
