An "air cooler" or "evaporative cooler" cools air by evaporating water. The evaporation process is endothermic and therefore the temperature of the air drops. However, the relative humidity level of the air goes up. This is a common method of cooling air in very dry climates.
An air conditioner cools air through a heat exchanger and does not increase the relative humidity of the air.

Which one is better the air cooler or the air conditioner?
In the humid warm climate an air conditioner is the solution. In dry hot climate and air cooler (aka evaporative cooler) works best since it cools by evaporation of water and introduces a lot of humidity in the space. An air cooler is not usually recommended (even in dry climate) for rooms where electrical/electronic equipments (such as TV, PC etc) are placed since too much humidity mixed with already deposited dust makes a mess and results in failure. Also air cooler is cheaper in cost as well as operation.
