Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Ringer at none against Ringtone DIY Pro's shown. Ringer also leads on price ($1.99 vs $2.99) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13). Ringtone DIY Pro's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
