ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BG Remover Background Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Background Editor has 3.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Background Editor's written reviews are positive against 50% of BG Remover Background Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Background Editor ships an update every 11 days, BG Remover Background Editor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
