Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rotana Hotels at 4.6 against UAE MOFA's 3.6. Rotana Hotels also leads on ratings volume (227 vs 16). UAE MOFA's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (79% vs 63%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Rotana Hotels holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rotana Hotels has 227 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of UAE MOFA's written reviews are positive against 63% of Rotana Hotels's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
UAE MOFA ships an update every 11 days, Rotana Hotels every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
