Recording stays on while the screen stays awake. The display no longer auto-locks while the camera is open, so a hands-off take on a tripod or stand records until you stop it. This matches the behavior of the built-in Camera app. Simpler controls while recording. Only the controls that work during a take stay on screen: the camera-swap button steps aside for the photo button while you record, and buttons that would end your take early are dimmed. Everything returns when the recording stops. A more dependable record button. Tapping record twice in quick succession could confuse the app — the controls stayed on their idle look while a take was actually rolling, and recording could stay stuck until you relaunched. Starts are now handled once, and the on-screen controls always match what's being recorded. Sharper picture-in-picture. The inset is now filtered when it's scaled, so its edges look smoother in recordings while the main image stays pixel-sharp. Better fit with Display Zoom and larger text. If you use Display Zoom or a larger text size, the on-screen controls now fit the screen: the storage readout no longer runs under the Settings button, and the recording controls stay centered instead of spilling off the right edge. More consistent on-screen controls. The recording-time and storage indicators now match the rest of the live-preview chrome. Better bug reports. If you report an issue, the diagnostic log now includes the previous session too, so problems that happened before a relaunch can actually be investigated. Plus fixes for the horizon level near upside-down, the exposure slider unlocking focus, taps on the letterbox bars, and the self-timer after rapid taps.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Bicameral at every 10 days against Splitscene's every 2 months. Splitscene's advantage is iOS requirement (13.2 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
