Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Assignr at 4.9 against Ref Insight's 3.8. Assignr also leads on ratings volume (8.3K vs 10). Ref Insight's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Assignr holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Assignr has 8.3K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Assignr's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ref Insight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
