They are similar but this mod offers quite a few more options ....

Reports List

The 'Show Reports List' link will display a report of each time your vBSEO Sitemap generator executed, including the (1) date, (2) run time, (3) total URLs included, and (4) and change in # of URLs included from the last generation.
Each vBSEO Sitemap generation record will include a (1) "View details" and (2) "Remove record" link. The "View Details" link shows more detailed information about the sitemap generated. The "Remove record" will permanently delete the record from your reports.

Downloads Log

The 'Show Sitemap Downloads Log' link will display a report of each time your vBSEO Sitemap was downloaded by either a search engine (Identified by the Bot's name) or by another user agent (i.e. Web browser, etc.).
The report includes the (1) date, (2) name of sitemap file downloaded, (3) Bot, (4) IP address of the downloader, and the (5) User-agent.
Each vBSEO Sitemap download record will include a "Remove record" link which will permanently delete the record from your reports.

Search Engine Bots Activity Log

Use it to track Search engine activity on your sitemaps. This area displays how often, and what volume of pages search engines visit your site on a daily basis.

Custom Pages / Extra URLs

The ability to add additional urls to the sitemap that are not native to vBulletin. For example any custom pages you have created or custom mods you have added.

Automatic Notification to Search Engines

Auto-notifies Search Engines when a new sitemap is generated (optional). Currently works for notifying both Google and Bing.

There are probably others points also but these 5 items stand out as either not offered at all with the built in vB xml sitemap system or not nearly as robust and in-depth.
