# Background Color Editor vs white_border

The clearest difference is review sentiment: white_border at 67% against Background Color Editor's 20%. Background Color Editor's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 2.8) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
