Ringtone Genius Free vs Pro: What You Get, Where Ads Appear and the Export Ad
Free: one track with import, record, extract, trim, split, fade, volume, M4A export and the set-up guide, supported by ads (including an optional watch-an-ad-to-export). Pro: layers, speed, equalizer, effects, text to speech, high-quality export and no ads.
The problem
You want to know whether you can finish a ringtone for free, and what the catch is before you start.
Free
On a single track you can:
- Import audio from Files, extract audio from video, record with the microphone.
- Trim, split, move, adjust volume and fades.
- Export an M4A and follow the guided set-up.
- Keep projects, library and exported works.
Pro
- More tracks (layers)
- Speed control 0.5×–2×
- 10-band equalizer with presets
- Sound effects library
- Text to speech
- High-quality export
- No ads
Plans: Monthly, Yearly (auto-renewing, managed in your Apple ID) or Lifetime (one payment, never renews). Restore Purchases is in Settings.
Ads in the free version
Ringtone Genius is free because of Google AdMob ads, all non-personalised:
- A full-screen ad after an export (limited to one every few minutes).
- An app-open ad when you come back after being away.
- An optional rewarded ad: when one is ready, tapping Export offers Watch Ad (the ad pays for this export) or Upgrade to Pro. If you leave the ad early the export doesn’t start.
The app stops preview playback before showing a full-screen ad. Ads are not shown to Pro users.
Which to choose
- A ringtone or two: free is enough.
- Mixing voice and music, or making many tones: Pro.
FAQ
Does the free version have ads? Yes. A full-screen ad can appear after an export and when you return to the app, and you may be offered a rewarded ad that pays for an export. Pro removes them.
Do I have to watch an ad to export? When a rewarded ad is available, the app offers “Watch Ad” to pay for the export, or you can upgrade. If none is loaded, the export just goes ahead.
What does Pro include? Layered tracks, speed control, the 10-band equalizer, the sound effects library, text to speech, high-quality export and an ad-free app.
What are the plans? Monthly, yearly (auto-renewing) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices show in the app.
