# GBA Emulator vs Mobile Game Streamer

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 (#193 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.

Both are free to download. GBA Emulator sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Mobile Game Streamer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GBA Emulator holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GBA Emulator has 1.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

GBA Emulator ships an update fortnightly, Mobile Game Streamer every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
