Guake is still in the early stages of development, Tilda offers somewhat more functions as compared to Guake.
Both Guake and Tilda allows you to customize the background of the window (with images or colors), create transparent backgrounds, manage the scroll history, manage colors. Tilda however offers some more options like custom width and height, custom animations, custom themes etc.
