Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Patch at 100% against Edit AI's 41%. Patch also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0). Edit AI's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (31 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Edit AI sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Patch sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Patch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Edit AI has 31 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 41% of Edit AI's written reviews are positive against 100% of Patch's.
Edit AI ships an update every 3 days, Patch every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
