Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Background Eraser at 4.5 against Imaengine's 3.1. Background Eraser also leads on ratings volume (134K vs 35) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Imaengine's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
