ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Remove Background holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remove Background has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Remove Background's written reviews are positive against 50% of Inpaint's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Remove Background ships an update every 19 months, Inpaint every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 6, 2026.
