# Ringtone Maker vs Ringtone Maker +

The clearest difference is monetization model: Ringtone Maker + at free with in-app purchases against Ringtone Maker's subscription. Ringtone Maker + also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ringtone Maker sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Ringtone Maker + sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ringtone Maker + has 19K ratings behind it against 3.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
