Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: RA Guide at every 11 days against Electric Picnic's every 11 months. RA Guide also leads on chart position (#116 vs unranked). Electric Picnic's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
