Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Background Eraser at none against Object Removal AI Retouch's shown. Background Eraser also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Object Removal AI Retouch's advantage is ratings volume (72K vs 656) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Object Removal AI Retouch sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Background Eraser sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Object Removal AI Retouch holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Object Removal AI Retouch has 72K ratings behind it against 656, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Object Removal AI Retouch's written reviews are positive against 41% of Background Eraser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
