Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ringtone Maker at none against Notebook's 1. Ringtone Maker also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Notebook's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (14K vs 15). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
