DualCam Free vs. Pro: Ads, Watermark, 5 Presets and the 10-Minute Pro Pass

TL;DR

Free covers dual-camera recording, four layouts, quality and zoom settings, countdown and 5 presets, with ads and a watermark. Pro adds background effects, the cutout layout, Demo Mode, Pre-Record, custom privacy covers, PiP borders and shadows, unlimited presets and removes ads and the watermark. You can also try Pro for 10 minutes by watching a video, up to 3 times a day.

The problem

Camera apps often hide the thing you came for behind a paywall, or let you record and then stamp the result. You want to know what you can do free, what the limits are, and whether Pro is worth it for the way you shoot.

Free

  • Dual-camera recording at HD or 4K, 24/30/60 fps
  • PiP (either way round), split and Side by Side layouts
  • Bubble position, size, corners and circle
  • Rear zoom stops and macro
  • Countdown, volume-button control and clear screen
  • Privacy cover (hide either camera mid-take)
  • Video stabilization settings
  • 5 saved presets
  • Videos tab with bulk share and delete

Free is supported by ads (a banner on Home and one after the preview) and adds a watermark to videos.

Pro

  • Front-camera background effects: blur, virtual backgrounds and cutout
  • The Cutout layout
  • Demo Mode: film over slides, videos, files and web pages
  • Pre-Record (10, 30 or 60 seconds)
  • Custom privacy covers
  • PiP border and shadow
  • Unlimited presets
  • No ads, no watermark

Pro is a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Try Pro first: the 10-minute pass

When you open a Pro feature on the free plan, you can watch a short video to use Pro, including every Pro feature, for 10 minutes. You can earn up to 3 of these a day, and more time can be added while one is active.

Do you need Pro?

  • Casual vlogs and reactions: free is fine, if you accept ads and the watermark.
  • Sharing publicly: Pro, for a clean video.
  • Presentations and tutorials: Pro, for Demo Mode.
  • Unpredictable moments: Pro, for Pre-Record.
