So the useful comparison is not ad-free versus ad-supported. It comes down to update dates, permissions, install base and what the app actually does. Some apps are libraries of ready-made sounds. Others are editors that cut your own music into a tone, and these ask for more access. MP3 Cutter and Ringtone Maker, for example, names storage, contacts and settings write permissions. Check download size on the Google Play page before you install.

Pick the type of app first. If you want ready-made sounds, a library app such as Android Ringtone Songs is enough and asks for little. If you want a tone cut from your own music, an editor makes sense, but accept only the permissions the task needs.
After installing, set a tone for one contact and test it before changing your default. Google Play ratings between 4.6 and 4.8 here are close, so use them as a tiebreaker rather than the main reason to choose.
