Both are free to download. GradientTheme sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Background Remover asks for nothing beyond the download.
Background Remover holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Background Remover has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of GradientTheme's written reviews are positive against 0% of Background Remover's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GradientTheme ships an update every 3 weeks, Background Remover every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
