PipCam records your front and back cameras at the same time and saves one combined video: the main scene full screen, with your reaction floating in a picture-in-picture window. REACTIONS AND MOMENTS, BOTH SIDES - Capture your face and the scene in a single take - Great for vlogs, reactions, unboxings, tutorials, travel, concerts, and interviews TRUE WYSIWYG RECORDING - What you see is what you get: PIP position, size, and rounded corners match the saved video - The front camera preview is mirrored, like the built-in Camera app, while saved videos keep the real scene - Drag the PIP window anywhere, tap to cycle its size, swap front/back with one tap - Beamforming microphone follows the main camera BUILT FOR LONG RECORDINGS - Reliable long-session recording with thermal monitoring and automatic safeguards - Your footage is recovered even if the app is interrupted - Storage guard warns you before space runs out QUALITY OPTIONS - 1080p 30fps: free - 4K 30fps and 1080p 60fps: PipCam Pro, a single one-time purchase. No subscription. SIMPLE AND PRIVATE - No account and no sign-up - Videos save straight to your Photos library - Free with ads shown after recording. PipCam Pro removes ads with one purchase. PipCam requires a device that supports simultaneous front and back capture (iPhone XS or later).
Snapper

Your best shot. On repeat. Snapper is a simple interval camera that gives you time to get into the picture. Set your phone down, choose a countdown, and take a series of photos without returning to the shutter after every shot. MAKE ROOM FOR THE MOMENT Choose a 5-, 10-, or 15-second countdown between captures. Take 5, 10, or 20 photos, or keep going until you tap Stop. A CLEAR VIEW Use the front or rear camera. Expand the preview when you want more room to frame your photo, then return to the compact view to adjust your settings. YOUR PHOTOS, YOUR CHOICE Save each picture directly to Photos, or turn saving off. Optional screen flashes and haptics help you follow the session. SIMPLE BY DESIGN No account, ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases in version 1.0. Snapper does not upload your photos. Capture sessions work without an internet connection. Keep Snapper open during a session. Switching apps or locking your phone pauses automatic captures. Each countdown begins after the previous capture finishes; timing and image quality depend on your phone and conditions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Snapper at none against PipCam's 1. Snapper also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
