Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Retouch at 4.4 against Magic Eraser's 1.0. Retouch also leads on ratings volume (8.1K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Magic Eraser's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
