Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spatial Media Toolkit at 66% against DualSphere's 10%. Spatial Media Toolkit also leads on price (Free vs $7.99) and rating (4.6 vs 4.0). DualSphere's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
