In short
Pegasus Frontend: Pegasus is a flexible front end for organizing and launching collections across supported platforms and emulators. It relies on users to supply their own games and related components, and Android setup requires an APK installation setting.
RomM: RomM makes sense when you want a central home for emulator games, with synchronized saves and access from desktops, phones, and handhelds. Its broad platform coverage, metadata sources, patching, and user controls give a collection room to grow. The cost is operational effort: Docker, databases, storage mounts, backups, and metadata credentials are part of the job. Free self-hosting is the natural choice for server owners. The Hostinger option adds a paid deployment path for buyers who want infrastructure support instead.
