The difference from Obtanium seems to be that it presents an app-store front end, so you can browse and search for packages. Obtanium requires manual setup for each repo you want to add.
I feel like the obtanium way is better because you have to consciously make the choice and weight the risk, while this is too convenient and will just end up like AUR full of malware. I do not even use Obtanium btw, I don't have time to check the apps code regularly, I think F-droid is better way and Aurora for the few that are not there.
