# Superimpose+ vs Background Eraser

The clearest difference is monetization model: Superimpose+ at free with in-app purchases against Background Eraser's subscription. Superimpose+ also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Background Eraser's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (134K vs 12K). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Superimpose+ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Background Eraser sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Superimpose+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Background Eraser has 134K ratings behind it against 12K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Superimpose+'s written reviews are positive against 75% of Background Eraser's.

Superimpose+ ships an update every 3 weeks, Background Eraser every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
