Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BON BINI! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BON BINI! has 1.1K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Aruba Smart Map's written reviews are positive against 33% of BON BINI!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Aruba Smart Map ships an update every 3 weeks, BON BINI! every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
