Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Aurora at 5.0 against GigaBeam WiFi's 4.7. GigaBeam WiFi's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 33%) and ratings volume (20 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Aurora holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GigaBeam WiFi has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of GigaBeam WiFi's written reviews are positive against 33% of Aurora's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GigaBeam WiFi ships an update every 3 months, Aurora every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
