Best app to record the front and back camera at the same time on iPhone

The best fit depends on your iPhone and budget. TKut and SplitRig list a free app with both cameras. Dualgram has the most App Store ratings. DualCapture saves three videos from one take but needs iOS 18. Details below come from each app's own page, read October 24, 2026.

Eight apps side by side

Quick answer: pick the app whose iOS minimum your iPhone meets, then choose by price and watermark. All of these use the same Apple multi-camera system, which needs an A12 chip or newer (Apple).

App	Best for	Free tier and watermark	Needs
DualCapture	Front, back and combined videos from one take	Free to download. Free exports carry a watermark. Premium from $0.99 a week	iOS 18.0+
Dualgram	Longest track record: 4.7 stars from 2.7K ratings	Free with in-app purchases; Pro $8.99 a year or $29.99 once	Listing says iPhone XR, 11 and newer
TKut	A dual camera plus a full video editor	Its site says free, no watermark, no ads	iPhone XS+, iOS 16.4+
SplitRig	Driving, cycling and sports with live overlays	Its site lists $0, no accounts and no ads	iPhone 11+
DualTake	Reactions, podcasts and a Mac web app	Free has a small watermark and shorter takes; Pro $9.99 once (its page)	iOS 17+
DoubleTake by Filmic	Filmmakers who want two 1080p discrete tracks	See its App Store page for current price	Page is written for iPhone 11 and 12
DuoTake	Reactions with a teleprompter	Premium removes the temporary watermark	iOS 26.6+ per its site
ContentCam	Tall and wide files from one lens	Free, no watermark; Front and Back is Premium	iPhone XS+, iOS 18+

Which one should you pick?

If you want the cheapest start with no watermark, try TKut first, then SplitRig. If you are on an older iOS, DualTake (iOS 17) and TKut (iOS 16.4) install where DualCapture cannot.

If you want three files from one take (front, back and combined) and recordings that run until you stop them, DualCapture is built for that. It is a poor fit if you are not on iOS 18 or you refuse to pay to remove a watermark. See pricing.

What we could not verify

We did not test every app on the same iPhone. Claims are what each app says about itself. Prices and iOS minimums change, so check the App Store page before you buy.

Try DualCapture

It is free to download. Record a short clip and look at the export before you decide.
