Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: X at 3.0 against Lorex Cloud's 1.5. X also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 8%). Lorex Cloud's advantage is ratings volume (282 vs 2) and update cadence (every 6 months vs every 15 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
