# WVAQ vs Ringtones

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WVAQ at 100% against Ringtones's 34%. WVAQ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). Ringtones's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (42K vs 5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ringtones sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. WVAQ asks for nothing beyond the download.
