Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Imperial Dreams at Free against XCOM 2 Collection's $14.99. Imperial Dreams also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). XCOM 2 Collection's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and chart position (#56 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
