The Amstrad CPC is a semi-professional 8-bit computer with a 4 MHz microprocessor, introduced in 1984. If you owned one back in the 1980's or would have loved to do so, CPCemu is for you. If you would like to use special CPC software today or learn how to program a Z80 microprocessor, CPCemu is for you. You can also use it to watch the demos bringing the CPC to its limits, due to CPCemu's very high graphics and sound emulation accuracy, down to single microseconds. The type of graphics chip ("CRTC") can be selected in the user interface. Of course you can also play one or two of the amazing games still available using the touchscreen joystick emulation. CPCemu was the first emulator that provided emulation of an M4 Board (http://www.spinpoint.org) which provides an SD-card drive C:, configurable ROM slots and even TCP internet connections and HTTP downloads to the CPC. This emulation is compatible to the operating system SymbOS. CPCemu is the first CPC emulator that provides (basic) emulation of an external graphics card with a V9990 graphics processor, in particular for SymbOS. At any time, snapshots of the current state of the emulation can be saved and reloaded later. CPCemu provides real-time emulation and unlimited-speed emulation. Besides, the CPU speed can be switched between normal and 3x or 24x turbo mode. A simple monitor program (debugger) is integrated. It allows CRTC single-stepping (even if a CPU instruction takes more time than one CRTC step).

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Vivaldi Powerful Web Browser at 4.7 against CPCemu's 4.0. Vivaldi Powerful Web Browser also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 2). CPCemu's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Vivaldi Powerful Web Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vivaldi Powerful Web Browser has 4.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Vivaldi Powerful Web Browser's written reviews are positive against 100% of CPCemu's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
