Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Ringtone Maker at 4.4 against Ringtone Editor Lite's 3.0.

Ringtone Editor Lite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
