We are exposing much more information than we think we do everyday by sharing pictures and photos from our mobile phones. Beside the visual items we see on the photos themselves, they include many more important information as well, such as the location that the picture has been taken at! With Hidee you can redact important information on photos you want to share easily, it also removes all the metadata on the image file, so it will be a plain redacted image, ready to share! Hidee uses text and face detection to automatically redact sensitive information on images. It also removes location data as well as other sensitive metadata automatically while saving. You can choose what to redact and also customize the redaction colors quickly. We care about your privacy! So EVERYTHING in Hidee is on-device only! Which means NONE of your pictures or personal information will leave your phone. ** What information needs redacting? ** ● Social security numbers. ● Driver's license or professional license numbers. ● Credit card numbers. ● Protected health information and other medical information. ● Financial documents and files ● Birth dates and other important dates. And all other information we don't intend to share! We are constantly working on Hidee to make it even better. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us at hidee@yeka.studio

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Blur Text at 4.7 against Hidee's 1.7. Blur Text also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Hidee's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 20%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidee sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Blur Text sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Blur Text holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 3 respectively.
