Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AI Cast Assistant holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 33 and 109 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Ink Show's written reviews are positive against 28% of AI Cast Assistant's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
