Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Siren Ringtones at 4.5 against SirenBox's 3.5. Siren Ringtones also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 19 months). SirenBox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
