Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MiruXR at 5.0 against iVRy's 3.9. MiruXR also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). iVRy's advantage is ratings volume (153 vs 9) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
