This is (as the name suggests) a Sitemap generator.

'The $150 one on their site' is vBSEO, the vBulletin Search Engine Optimisation product.

Taking a leaf from another poster's book, I will now paste my thoughts about it.

vBSEO can rewrite ALL of the dynamic urls on your forum. Custom rewrite rules give me the ability to choose whether to call payments.php "purchase.html", "/products/", or "purplemonkeydonut.htm" if I want...all through an easy to manage Control Panel.

It also cleans up html, removing comment code and whitespace, and along with the automatic 'add image dimension attributes' to all images, makes your pages load faster.

The addition of rel="nofollow" to the URLS that you choose, plus the 'force forumroot as homepage' (makes www.site.com/forums/index.php become www.site.com/forums/) allows you to filter PageRank towards the more imortant parts of your site and avoid "pagerank leakage".
