Welcome to TFP.
Renewal is a mixture of dry acid(sodium bisulfate), boric acid, and phosphonic acid (scale inhibitor) at a premium price. The dry acid will lower pH.
Baking soda is baking soda. Baking soda will cause a big rise in TA and a small rise in pH.
They do different and opposite things to your water chemistry.

Baking Soda is Sodium Bicarbonate.
That is a very different chemical then Sodium Bisulfate which is a dry acid.
