Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Object Removal Clone Stamp at every 4 days against Retouch's every 3 weeks. Object Removal Clone Stamp also leads on iOS requirement (11.1 vs 15.0). Retouch's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 514). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Retouch holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Retouch has 4.4K ratings behind it against 514, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Object Removal Clone Stamp's written reviews are positive against 29% of Retouch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Object Removal Clone Stamp ships an update every 4 days, Retouch every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
