Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: midimittr at none against PianoStream's 6. midimittr also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). PianoStream's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and chart position (#137 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
