# Layout vs Remove Objects

The clearest difference is monetization model: Remove Objects at free with in-app purchases against Layout's subscription. Remove Objects also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Layout's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Layout sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Remove Objects sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Remove Objects holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 47K and 129K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Layout's written reviews are positive against 59% of Remove Objects's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Layout ships an update every 5 days, Remove Objects weekly. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
