Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Daily Canvas at 5.0 against Large Text's 4.5. Daily Canvas also leads on device support (5 vs 2). Large Text's advantage is ratings volume (60 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Large Text sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Daily Canvas sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Daily Canvas holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Large Text has 60 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
