A tool review of Manymo, a web-based android emulator. For school use only.

1. Manymo
“A Better Emulator.”
MATTHEW MENSCH

2. History
 Dan Grigsby, CEO, and Pete Schwamb
 Began in 2012
 Not much history as this browser-based emulator is
fairly new
 Hit more than 100,000 people and organizations
using Manymo

3. Similar Tools
 GenyMotion
 Android SDK emulator
 BrowserStack
 Manymo offers a browser-based android emulator
that does not require a username and password, does
not require a downloads and provides various screen
sizes for different devices.
 Most of the tools listed above also contain these
features, but some provide a much higher latency.

4. Sustainability, performance, pricing (1)
 Sustainability
 According to Manymo’s website (manymo.com), “More than
100,000 people and organizations have launched millions of
Manymo emulators.”

Contains support for multiple screen sizes to better check the
performance on different devices.

Is compatible with multiple versions of Android as well.

5. Sustainability, performance, pricing (2)
 Performance
 The performance of Manymo does not give us any noticeable
speedup.
 The latency is higher than using the Android SDK emulator
through eclipse.
 Pricing
 Free Trail offer available
 Basic: 100 emulator launches, one at a time for $9/month
 Pro: 1,000 emulator launches, up to 3 at a time for
$49/month
 Ultimate: 10,000 emulator launches, up to 12 at a time for
$199/month

6. Benefits and Cost Analysis
 For our application, Snap Meals, this service is not
worth it as it does not provide us enough actual
speedup and use than using the Android SDK
emulator or simply using an android device to do
USB debugging.
 This can be seen as you can only get 100 emulator
launches per month for $9.
 Basically a waste of money for new developers in
android.

7. Compatibility
 Compatible with all devices that can run a browser as
it is a web-based emulator.
 Contains the ability to integrate with Eclipse fairly
easily.
