Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: QVegas at 100% against IMAX's 35%. QVegas also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). IMAX's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
