Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: RingPop at none against Custom Ringtone Maker's shown. RingPop also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Custom Ringtone Maker's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (17.1 vs 26.0). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
