# Ringtones vs Ringtone Maker™

Ringtones and Ringtone Maker™ both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Ringtone Maker™'s written reviews are positive against 34% of Ringtones's. Ringtone Maker™ also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Ringtones's advantage is ratings volume (41K vs 20) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). 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 $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Ringtones against 4.3 for Ringtone Maker™. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ringtones has 41K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 34% of Ringtones's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ringtone Maker™'s.

Ringtones ships an update every 2 weeks, Ringtone Maker™ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
