Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Animation Tester at 5.0 against Unity Face Capture's 3.7. Unity Face Capture's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 29 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
