I'm not sure it makes sense to compare them. ViewStub is a view that uses LayoutInflater to inflate its view hierarchy when needed. As far as inflating the view hierarchy goes, they are the same. They just are different APIs, so the only interesting different between them is really the obvious difference in how you use the API.
