Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: GBA Emulator at 3.7 against Mobile Game Streamer's 1.0. GBA Emulator also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 1) and chart position (#194 vs unranked). Mobile Game Streamer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
