Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Clear Wave at 74% against Tik Ringtones's 17%. Clear Wave also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (37K vs 240). Tik Ringtones's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
