Dualify vs MultiCam+: Front & Back Camera
Which is better, Dualify or MultiCam+: Front & Back Camera?
Choose MultiCam+ if you want a paid-once app with many layouts and the option to swap cameras while recording; choose Dualify if you want an app that is still being updated, with 60fps recording, layout changes after shooting and vertical plus horizontal export. MultiCam+ offers dual output (separate files), picture-in-picture, side by side, split, diagonal and single layouts, and supports the ultrawide, wide and telephoto back lenses. Its latest App Store version, 1.7.1, dates from 2022. Dualify records both cameras in one take with picture-in-picture, a 50/50 split or shaped frames, records up to 4K at 60fps on supported devices, and its ReFrame tool changes the layout and output format after recording. Dualify is free to download with an optional Pro plan; its Dual Format export, which saves 9:16 and 16:9 versions together, needs Pro.
