Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WaveSource at 100% against GameX Emulator's 35%. WaveSource also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.5) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). GameX Emulator's advantage is ratings volume (111 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GameX Emulator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and WaveSource sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WaveSource holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GameX Emulator has 111 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of GameX Emulator's written reviews are positive against 100% of WaveSource's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
