- Ringtone Maker Studio: Supports professional audio editing but is complex to use; Circus attracts light users with its ready-to-use features.
- Crazy Ringtones: Focuses on funny sound effects but updates slowly; Circus releases monthly circus-themed subcategories (e.g., "Retro Tent," "Steampunk").
