Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Ringtone Maker at free with in-app purchases against Ringtones's subscription. Ringtones's advantage is ratings volume (41K vs 126) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ringtones sells 13 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.
