Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Ringtone Maker at Free against Ringer's $1.99. Ringtone Maker also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (24K vs 67). Ringer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

Ringtone Maker is free to download; Ringer costs $1.99 up front. Ringtone Maker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year. Ringer asks for nothing beyond the download.
Ringtone Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ringtone Maker has 24K ratings behind it against 67, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Ringer's written reviews are positive against 62% of Ringtone Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ringer ships an update every 6 months, Ringtone Maker every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
