What would be the main differences in outputs between Revit (BIM) vs OpenStudio (BEM)

I would like to know if comparing these two tools for obtaining energy models would give me an advantage of one over the other. I heard that architects may use Revit because of its link to autoCAD (being both an AUTODESK products). I guess, I would want to see which one is more robust in its analysis. Can these two be compared and if so, what are the advantages of using one or the other -aside from cost, since OpenStudio is free-.

Thanks a bunch!
