# TouchRetouch vs Magic Eraser

The clearest difference is ads: TouchRetouch at none against Magic Eraser's shown. TouchRetouch also leads on chart position (#106 vs unranked) and ratings volume (58K vs 10K). Magic Eraser's advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 57%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TouchRetouch sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Magic Eraser sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for TouchRetouch against 4.8 for Magic Eraser. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TouchRetouch has 58K ratings behind it against 10K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 57% of TouchRetouch's written reviews are positive against 90% of Magic Eraser's.

TouchRetouch ships an update every 9 days, Magic Eraser weekly. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
