The clearest difference is rating: Audio Extractor at 5.0 against Ringtone Garage's 3.8. Audio Extractor also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months). Ringtone Garage's advantage is ratings volume (5K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
