# Lorex Classic vs V380 Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Lorex Classic at 4.6 against V380 Pro's 3.9. Lorex Classic also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). V380 Pro's advantage is review sentiment (34% vs 21%) and chart position (#127 vs unranked). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. V380 Pro sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Lorex Classic asks for nothing beyond the download.

Lorex Classic holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 25K and 5.3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Lorex Classic's written reviews are positive against 34% of V380 Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lorex Classic ships an update every 2 months, V380 Pro every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
