# Photo Retouch vs Remove Objects

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Remove Objects at 82% against Photo Retouch's 54%. Remove Objects also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Photo Retouch's advantage is ratings volume (121K vs 997) and chart position (#122 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Photo Retouch sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Remove Objects sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Remove Objects holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Retouch has 121K ratings behind it against 997, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Photo Retouch's written reviews are positive against 82% of Remove Objects's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
