# D vs Lorex Cloud

The clearest difference is rating: Lorex Cloud at 1.5 against D's 1.0. Lorex Cloud also leads on ratings volume (282 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Lorex Cloud holds the better App Store score, 1.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lorex Cloud has 282 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of D's written reviews are positive against 8% of Lorex Cloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

D ships an update every 3 months, Lorex Cloud every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
