Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Retail Radar at 4.0 against BrickSeek's 1.1. Retail Radar also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 7 months). BrickSeek's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
