The App is made so you can play retro games through a emulator. This emulator does not provide any games but you will have to add your own through the file system. This emulator was made by a developer for a developer. Most emulators require you to watch many ads or pay way to much and i thought it was unfair so now we have this one.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Japanese Ruby at none against BitPrism's shown. Japanese Ruby also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). BitPrism's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
