Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Météo Marine at 77% against iMar's 29%. Météo Marine also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). iMar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
