From a high-level perspective, RTD is more fully featured and is primarily aimed at:
- acceptance testing
- unit testing
- coverage reporting
Laika is lighter-weight and is squarely focused on:
- integration testing
You could do acceptance testing with Laika and integration testing with RTD... but its much easier to use a tool specifically designed for the job.
Here's a comparison chart outlining the differences:

At the time of writing there are still a few issues with the comparison (RTD does acceptance testing rather than integration) but its a nice overview.

Great answer, and also liked your detailed [post on meteor-talk about the differences between RTD and Laika](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/meteor-talk/J_UFdK7530k/doVMqScEPWAJ). – Dan Dascalescu Jan 30 '14 at 11:56
