Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: YYIOT at 4.2 against Lorex Pro's 2.2. YYIOT also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). Lorex Pro's advantage is review sentiment (19% vs 0%) and ratings volume (49 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
YYIOT holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lorex Pro has 49 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Lorex Pro's written reviews are positive against 0% of YYIOT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lorex Pro ships an update every 4 months, YYIOT every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
