Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SlingStudio Capture at 4.8 against NDI Multiview's 4.0. SlingStudio Capture also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (6K vs 128). NDI Multiview's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NDI Multiview sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. SlingStudio Capture asks for nothing beyond the download.
SlingStudio Capture holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SlingStudio Capture has 6K ratings behind it against 128, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of SlingStudio Capture's written reviews are positive against 46% of NDI Multiview's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SlingStudio Capture ships an update every 8 months, NDI Multiview every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
