Filmic was for a while the app for turning your phone into a pseudo-pro video camera. But Blackmagic Camera wasn't the executioner - it was their own doing when they abandoned what had been a pay-once app and suddenly turned to a (quite expensive) subscription model. That didn't sit well with the community - the app's rating tanked by hundreds+ of one-star reviews. At least iOS users have BMD's camera app - Android users don't have anything comparable.

On Android you actually have something better than Filmic Pro, you can use something called MotionCam [Pro], which allows you to record RAW video, or optionally ProRes or HEVC (still in beta/alpha right now) in various log formats. There's also mcpro24fps for a slightly more traditional video app (free in Russian language). Between these, the video recording situation appears to be signficantly ahead of iOS even without Filmic Pro.

Thanks for pointing out these alternatives - I'll check them out!

I guess on Android you‘d have to look for hardware specific apps, like the one Sony is offering with their Xperia phones for example.

I was going to ask if there was anything comparable for Android... :(

Try something called ProShot, mcpro24fps, or MotionCam Pro - Seems like they offer the same features and more, without a subscription
