The clearest difference is rating: Retouch at 4.6 against Video Eraser & Remove Objects's 3.9. Retouch also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 133). Video Eraser & Remove Objects's advantage is review sentiment (55% vs 28%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks).

Both are free to download. Retouch sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Video Eraser & Remove Objects sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Retouch holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9.
