The clearest difference is rating: Anemoia at 4.7 against AR Hanami's 4.0. Anemoia also leads on ratings volume (216 vs 2). AR Hanami's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Anemoia holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anemoia has 216 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Anemoia's written reviews are positive against 100% of AR Hanami's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
