Tone Dial is a simple app that dials your iPhone contacts as DTMF tones through the speaker of your iPhone so that you can call using your land line. Place the speaker of your iPhone next to the microphone of the land line phone and dial contacts from your iPhone on your land line. Tone Dial includes several options to "adjust" the numbers in your contacts to work correctly over the land line. For example it can convert numbers starting with "+" into country exit codes so that international calls can be made correctly.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UniFi at 4.7 against Tone Dial's 3.7. UniFi also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (25K vs 3). Tone Dial's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 47%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
UniFi holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UniFi has 25K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Tone Dial's written reviews are positive against 47% of UniFi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tone Dial ships an update every 4 months, UniFi fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
