Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Background Eraser at 63% against Photo Editor's 0%. Background Eraser also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6K vs 9). Photo Editor's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.0) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Background Eraser sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Photo Editor sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Photo Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Background Eraser has 6K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Background Eraser's written reviews are positive against 0% of Photo Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Background Eraser ships an update monthly, Photo Editor every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
