# Background Text vs Magic Eraser

The clearest difference is rating: Magic Eraser at 4.8 against Background Text's 3.3. Magic Eraser also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 63%) and ratings volume (10K vs 12). Background Text's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Background Text sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Magic Eraser sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Magic Eraser holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic Eraser has 10K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Background Text's written reviews are positive against 90% of Magic Eraser's.
