Let's have an actual discussion about the merits and deficiencies of both the Tangled and Frozen franchises, since they're often compared.
Which one has the better character development, overall plot, design and songs.
Tech can be a valid talking in point too but it's kind of unfair considering the time gap between movies.
Why do think Frozen made more money?

Tangled kind of restored confidence in WDAS after Prince and the Frog flopped and what had otherwise been a decade of irrelevance next to Pixar. In between you had Winnie the Pooh, which was well received but pretty niche, and then Wreck it Ralph that also built up more confidence but it wasn't a princess film and the subject matter was a bit strange. Meanwhile, Pixar was starting their decline with Cars 2, Brave, and Monsters University. So Frozen just hit a sweet spot for being a Disney film AND being a princess film.

Do they just make Winnie the Pooh movies out of love?
I don't think any of them has made a substantial profit if any at all.

purely anecdotally, Frozen had better advertising.
when I saw ads for Tangled, I got the impression it was a Shrek clone and steered clear.
Frozen seemed more like a traditional princess movie, so I saw it (and loved it).

All CGI Disney films shouldn't exist since they have Pixar and no Disney film since WTP 2011 deserves to exist

user, something similar happened to me, I saw this big banner for Tangled on a building, the one with both characters covered by Rapunzel's hair, and it looked Dreamworks as fuck so I just ignored the movie for like 3 years.

Maybe? That last one sure did feel like a passion project. No one saw it but I heard nothing but good things about it.
Jace Morgan
Those early marketing campaigns were TERRIBLE
I too didn't even see the movie until years after the fact
What a relief that the ads lied that time around

Really? Frozen 1 advertising, especially before release, was trying to be like an animated romcom.
Tangled is better quality storytelling by a light year, but Frozen design and art direction is generally superior. Corona always seemed to lack an identity to me, like it's a pastiche of fantasy/fairy tale tropes, especially more so in the series when they added more magic and creatures and technology. Arendelle is pretty bare in comparison but I think this austerity added to why Frozen was more appealing to older audiences than it otherwise would have been.
It made more money because songs
