# 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 rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Ringtone Maker's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 22%) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 126). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ringtone Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ringtone Maker has 3.4K ratings behind it against 126, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Ringtone Maker's written reviews are positive against 22% of Ringtone Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ringtone Maker ships an update every 5 weeks, Ringtone Maker every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
