Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Retro Cloud Player at 5.0 against EmuNES XL's 3.6. Retro Cloud Player also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). EmuNES XL's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
