Best app to record portrait and landscape at once on iPhone
Five iPhone apps record 9:16 and 16:9 together: ContentCam, DualShot Recorder, OmniCam, TwoFace and DualTake. They differ in how the second file is made and in price. DualTake cuts both from one camera and has a teleprompter, but its free exports are watermarked. We make DualTake. Every other fact below comes from the rival's own page.

The short answer
Pick by the job. Want no watermark on a free tier, or Android too: ContentCam. Want a one-time price and two lenses: OmniCam or TwoFace. Want front and back cameras with a low monthly price: DualShot Recorder. Want one camera, a face-following horizontal cut, and a built-in teleprompter: DualTake.
Side by side
| App | How it makes two files | Price, per its page | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| ContentCam | Single lens from the full 4:3 sensor frame. Dual Lens and Front & Back are Premium | Free tier with no watermark. Premium monthly, annual or one-time (amounts not on its site) | Its "4.8 by 1,000+ creators" is its own claim |
| DualShot Recorder | One recording, vertical and horizontal, plus front and back camera support | Free. In-app Monthly $1.99, Annual $9.99 | Needs iOS 17.6. 4.7 from 1.9K ratings on the listing |
| OmniCam | Two lenses, 9:16 and 16:9, color matched, 4K | $4.99 one-time per its page title | Two-lens capture needs an iPhone with more than one back lens |
| TwoFace | Two cameras at once, front and back or two back lenses | $9.99 one-time per its site | Needs iPhone XS or newer, iOS 16+ |
| DualTake | One camera, 16:9 cut follows the face, pan by hand | Free with limits. Premium $0.99 weekly, $2.99 monthly, $19.99 yearly, $39.99 lifetime | Free exports have a watermark and 1 minute at 1080p. iOS 18+. 4.44 from 18 ratings |
How to record both at once
- Open the app and pick the camera: rear, selfie, or a lens pair.
- Frame for the vertical shot and keep the subject in the middle third.
- Tap record once, then stop. Both files land in Photos.
In DualTake this works with no account. See the step-by-step guide.
Where DualTake loses
ContentCam lists a watermark-free free tier and an Android app. OmniCam lists a one-time price. DualShot Recorder has far more ratings. If those matter most, start there. Our case rests on the teleprompter, the face-following horizontal cut and the lifetime option. See DualTake vs DualShot Recorder.
