Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: WalkPic at every 3 days against Lorex Classic's every 2 months. WalkPic also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Lorex Classic's advantage is ratings volume (25K vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
