This app focuses on exercising using resistance bands and includes other creative bodyweight exercises. Resistance bands offer many advantages other than being extremely portable and convenient. The mechanical advantage of these bands is that resistance is held through every part of the movement - compared to free weights that often do not stimulate the muscle during certain parts of the motion.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Resistance Bands Training at free with in-app purchases against Be Back Smart's subscription. Resistance Bands Training also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Be Back Smart's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
