Baking soda and bicarbonate of soda are one and the same.
If you are talking about Baking Powder and Baking Soda, then baking powder is actually made up of baking soda as well as some acid salts like sodium aluminum sulfate or cream of tatar and also cornstarch.

Baking Soda also known as Bicarbonate Soda. An alkali used to leaven baked goods. When combined with acidic ingredients, baking soda creates carbon dioxide gas bubbles that cause batter or dough to rise

They're both the same. Somebody just slapped a fancier name on to sell it for more because you think it's for cooking. You don't need to use them interchangeably in baking, but it would make no difference.

They are completely one and the same. Look on the box. Somewhere on there it should say it's bicarbonate of soda.

There is no difference. You can interchange them in baking. You say tomahto I say tomaeto?
