I know that Android studio comes with an Emulator for testing apps. but this Emulator is too damn slow and never runs on my machine. so i was checking for alternatives like if at all there is a standalone emulator which i can install on my system and upload my APKs and test. It is good if this emulator tool kit also shows the logs. I just want something to test my Apps without the Emulator that comes with Android SDK.
While i was browsing SO i bumped into this here check for the comment that Paul Ratazzi has written, (second comment) this one is a paid solution so i did not dig into it much.

Genymotion is free for individuals. So you can use it unless its commercials and better than Emulators.

is Genymotion a standalone emulator?

No. You have to install virtual box along with genymotions and has to download the different emulators as you preferred. It also available in single bundle.
