# AI Background Remover vs EraseX

AI Background Remover and EraseX both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of EraseX's written reviews are positive against 19% of AI Background Remover's. EraseX also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.4). AI Background Remover's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 15) and chart position (#36 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AI Background Remover sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and EraseX sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 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 AI Background Remover against 4.7 for EraseX. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Background Remover has 14K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 19% of AI Background Remover's written reviews are positive against 100% of EraseX's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
