Do the IPads run OSX? If so then OpenCPN is a free chart plotter app that supports AIS. As Ed pointed out, you still have to get the AIS data onto the wifi somehow. The AIS in radio approach simplifies installation and antenna systems no matter what you intend to use for a primary display.

Other raw nmea apps have the radar like displays - iRegatta has a panel like that. Of course you have to get the AIS data there over WiFi.
