# Dolphin Emulator vs PC Game Updates

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PC Game Updates at 100% against Dolphin Emulator's 19%. PC Game Updates also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Dolphin Emulator's advantage is ratings volume (87 vs 12) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dolphin Emulator sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. PC Game Updates asks for nothing beyond the download.

PC Game Updates holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dolphin Emulator has 87 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 19% of Dolphin Emulator's written reviews are positive against 100% of PC Game Updates's.
