Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Video Retouch at 4.1 against AniEraser's 2.6. Video Retouch also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 85) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). AniEraser's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video Retouch sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and AniEraser sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Video Retouch holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Retouch has 2.3K ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Video Retouch's written reviews are positive against 21% of AniEraser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Video Retouch ships an update every 8 months, AniEraser every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
