# Dolphin Emulator vs GravityBall

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GravityBall at 100% against Dolphin Emulator's 19%. GravityBall also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.3). Dolphin Emulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (87 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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 and GravityBall sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GravityBall 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 3, 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 GravityBall's.
