# GBA Emulator vs Game Hype

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: GBA Emulator at 15 against Game Hype's 17.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases 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 Game Hype sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
