Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Instant holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Instant's written reviews are positive against 33% of Simple Backgammon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
