* '''Bluestacks''' is also commercial with a free option (no account required). It's less good than Genymotion, and doesn't handle USB cable emulation. Previous versions used to come with an installer with adware, comes with junk apps within the emulator, and has a non-intuitive uninstaller, but that's no longer the case today. It includes Google Apps by default, though you'll need to "root" it to load apk files to your liking. The recent versions are available only for Windows. There were beta versions for Mac, but it seems discontinued.
* '''andyroid works''' works too, though the company behind it did adware before previously.
* '''DuOS''', not to be confused with a [http://ds-duos.blogspot.com/ similarly-named Nintendo DS emulator] by Roor, is a relative newcomer to the Android emulation market, made by American Megatrends i.e. the very same people behind the BIOS/UEFI firmware your PC may be using. Emulation is modest at best, with games and apps such as [[DraStic]] struggling on lower-end hardware. And to top it all off, it ain't free either.
