Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rake! at none against GBA Emulator's 7. Rake! also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and device support (3 vs 1). GBA Emulator's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (116 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
