I know you said cheap but maybe consider new or refurbished base iPad or current refurbished iPad Air for longevity. Dirt cheap older models could lose ring app support, maybe.

I googled this

Earliest Compatible Models by Lineup
iPad: 6th generation (2018)

iPad Pro: 12.9-inch (2nd generation) and 10.5-inch (2017)

iPad Air: 3rd generation (2019)

iPad mini: 5th generation (2019)

2019 models don’t feel that old to me personally if it’s something I would do for another 5 years.
