Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iMeetStand at none against IMSLP's 1. iMeetStand also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). IMSLP's advantage is ratings volume (507 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
