They are both raising agents. I think bicarb is usually used for bready type products and baking powder for cakes.

Bicarb is also good for cleaning around the house.

A solution of bicarbonate of soda is often used to clean the inside of manky fridges - unlike washing-up liquid it leaves no smell.
