# Oscilloscope vs Dolphin Emulator

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Oscilloscope at 100% against Dolphin Emulator's 19%. Oscilloscope also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Dolphin Emulator's advantage is ratings volume (87 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dolphin Emulator sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Oscilloscope asks for nothing beyond the download.

Oscilloscope holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dolphin Emulator has 87 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Oscilloscope's written reviews are positive against 19% of Dolphin Emulator's.
