Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Background Editor at 75% against Overclip's 28%. Background Editor also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). Overclip's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Background Editor sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Overclip sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Overclip holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3.2K and 1.6K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Background Editor's written reviews are positive against 28% of Overclip's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Background Editor ships an update every 9 days, Overclip every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
