Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: myAruba at 4.8 against VacayStore's 3.8. myAruba also leads on ratings volume (602 vs 15). VacayStore's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
myAruba holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myAruba has 602 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of VacayStore's written reviews are positive against 50% of myAruba's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
VacayStore ships an update every 3 weeks, myAruba every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
