Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: IMSLP at 507 against Your Ambience's 66. IMSLP also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Your Ambience's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Your Ambience sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and IMSLP sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Your Ambience against 4.6 for IMSLP. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IMSLP has 507 ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of Your Ambience's written reviews are positive against 70% of IMSLP's.
Your Ambience ships an update every 3 weeks, IMSLP every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
