Verdict
DualSphere and SpatialCamera both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 52% of SpatialCamera's written reviews are positive against 10% of DualSphere's. SpatialCamera also leads on price ($3.99 vs $7.99) and ratings volume (76 vs 3). DualSphere's advantage is device support (5 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
