Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BackTable at 100% against Raivek's 0%. BackTable also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (25 vs 1). Raivek's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
