Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Contactless Camera at Free against Touchless Recorder's $1.99. Contactless Camera also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months). Touchless Recorder's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.8.3). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
