How each one stops double bookings

Reclaim creates a busy block on your other calendars so coworkers or clients can't book over your time, and lets you choose a generic busy block with no details.

Meetingpad works the same way for blocking: a meeting on one calendar adds a private event titled Blocked to your others, which doesn't show the meeting's title. The difference is the limit. Reclaim's free plan covers 1 sync; Meetingpad's covers every calendar you connect.
