Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: GO Raids at none against PTCGBuilder's shown. GO Raids also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and device support (3 vs 1). PTCGBuilder's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
