Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Mello at none against Ringtones Maker's shown. Mello also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (97% vs 71%). Ringtones Maker's advantage is ratings volume (405K vs 62) and chart position (#28 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
