# Chromavid vs Video Background Remover

The clearest difference is rating: Video Background Remover at 4.0 against Chromavid's 3.1. Chromavid's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video Background Remover sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. Chromavid asks for nothing beyond the download.

Video Background Remover holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chromavid has 465 ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Chromavid's written reviews are positive against 8% of Video Background Remover's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Chromavid ships an update every 2 months, Video Background Remover every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
