Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lorex Cirrus at none against Previs Shot's 3. Lorex Cirrus also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (4K vs 8). Previs Shot's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (80% vs 66%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lorex Cirrus holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lorex Cirrus has 4K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Lorex Cirrus's written reviews are positive against 80% of Previs Shot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lorex Cirrus ships an update every 5 months, Previs Shot every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
