Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DexPunk at 100% against Dolphin Emulator's 19%. DexPunk also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Dolphin Emulator's advantage is ratings volume (196 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
