Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Eraser Cat at none against Retouch's shown. Eraser Cat also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Retouch's advantage is ratings volume (4.4K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
