    These are two completely different things, therefore the list of differences would be infinite.

    For example, insert_recordset is an X++ keywork and RecordInsertList is a class. insert_recordset is based on a query, while RecordInsertList used a list of records. And so on. Please look into documentation for details.

    Which one you should use depends on what you're trying to achieve. For example, if records to insert aren't coming from a database query, you can't use insert_recordset and you must use RecordInsertList (or just insert()).

    You don't need others to get this answer. Let me teach you two ways:

    1. Go to Visual Studio, find RecordInsertList class (e.g. by using ^RecordInsertList$ in AOT filter), right-click the name and choose Find References.
    2. Use a search engine, such as Google. You can use keywords like ax RecordInsertList, or something like that.

    When you learn using both Visual Studio and search engines, you'll be able to find not only code examples, but answers to many other questions as well.
