ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ringtones for iPhone holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ringtones for iPhone has 474 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Ringtones for iPhone's written reviews are positive against 67% of Ringtonic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ringtones for iPhone ships an update every 2 months, Ringtonic every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
