Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lorex Connect at 2.2 against Qsee's 1.7. Lorex Connect also leads on review sentiment (12% vs 0%). Qsee's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Qsee sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Lorex Connect sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lorex Connect holds the better App Store score, 2.2 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Qsee has 34 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Qsee's written reviews are positive against 12% of Lorex Connect's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
