# Retouch vs AniEraser

The clearest difference is rating: Retouch at 4.6 against AniEraser's 2.6. Retouch also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 85). AniEraser's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Retouch sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and AniEraser sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Retouch holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Retouch has 4.4K ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 28% of Retouch's written reviews are positive against 21% of AniEraser's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
