# Blur Image vs Auto Background Eraser

The clearest difference is rating: Auto Background Eraser at 3.9 against Blur Image's 3.0. Auto Background Eraser also leads on ratings volume (49 vs 2). Blur Image's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 18 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blur Image sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Auto Background Eraser sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Auto Background Eraser holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Auto Background Eraser has 49 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Blur Image's written reviews are positive against 0% of Auto Background Eraser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Blur Image ships an update every 5 months, Auto Background Eraser every 18 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
