# Ringtonic vs Ringtone Maker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ringtonic at 67% against Ringtone Maker's 22%. Ringtonic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks). Ringtone Maker's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (126 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ringtonic sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Ringtone Maker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ringtone Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ringtone Maker has 126 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Ringtonic's written reviews are positive against 22% of Ringtone Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ringtonic ships an update every 11 days, Ringtone Maker every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and August 19, 2026 respectively.
