Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: IMSLP at 70% against Piascore Air's 19%. IMSLP also leads on price (Free vs $1.99) and rating (4.6 vs 1.7). Piascore Air's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
