Features
Read full description

Record your front and back camera at the same time — the whole scene and your reaction, in one file. Free to use, no account needed. Your phone already has two cameras. This app finally uses both at once, so you never have to choose between what you're looking at and how you're reacting to it. It also does something quieter and just as useful: one take, saved twice. A wide 16:9 for YouTube and a tall 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, from the same moment. No re-cropping, no second take. WHAT YOU CAN DO Both cameras together. Front and back running at once, written into a single picture-in-picture file. One take, two shapes. Record once and keep a wide 16:9 file and a tall 9:16 file of the same moment. An on-screen guide shows you exactly what the wide file will keep, while you shoot. Move the inset as you record. Drag the small window anywhere on screen mid-take, and the saved video follows it. Choose which camera leads. Tap the inset to swap the two feeds before you start. Photos as well as video. Capture both sides of a moment as one stitched picture. Framing tools included. Grid, crop guide and front-camera mirroring, all free. MADE FOR Reactions. Your face and what you're reacting to, in one file. No editing app required. Vlogs. The road ahead and you talking about it, at the same time. Interviews and podcasts. A two-camera setup, one phone, zero gear. Concerts, travel, sports. Show the moment and the person living it. WHAT'S FREE Both cameras at once. The 16:9 plus 9:16 dual format. 1080p at 30 fps. The Wide picture-in-picture layout. Photos. Every framing tool. No time limit, no account, no sign-up. Free videos carry a small watermark in the corner. WHAT PREMIUM ADDS No watermark. 4K and 60 fps recording. All five layouts — Wide, Large, Circle, Split Top and Split Bottom. No ads. Weekly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a mode: Single for one lens in two shapes, Dual for two rear lenses, Front/Back for both sides at once. 2. Hit record. Drag the inset wherever you want it. 3. Save straight to your Photo Library. Download it and record something with both cameras today. — Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SplitRig at none against Dual Camera's 3. SplitRig also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). Dual Camera's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
