Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Immersive India at 86% against IMAX's 34%. Immersive India also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). IMAX's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
