Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SplitRig at none against DualLens's 1. SplitRig also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (38 vs 1). DualLens's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
