ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ringtones for iPhone holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ringtones for iPhone has 474 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Ringtone Editor Lite's written reviews are positive against 33% of Ringtones for iPhone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
