What kind of cooking do you do? Do you tend to bake/fry a lot of things? Do you tend to cook a lot of things on your stovetop? Do you like to slow cook things? Do you like to cook stuff that needs to soak/marinate or otherwise needs a lot of time?
Things I make in my instant pot: rice (white or seasoned), beans, seasoned proteins, stew, soup... All ready quick without soaking etc.
Things I make in my air fryer: frozen food, convenience food. I make rolls/toast in mine too, but I'm not sure you can do this in a typical air fryer. (I have a secondhand Breville air fryer.)
My advice to you is, whatever you decide on, to buy secondhand. Both appliances you're considering are popular and are somewhat easy to find used. You will save a lot of money and if you decide you don't like it, you can pass it back on to the used market and not be out as much money.
