Ammonia, NH3, with pKb = 4.76 is a better base than
monohydrogen carbonate, HCO3- (from baking soda), with pKb,HCO3- = 7.64, which by the way is also a very weak acid: pKa = 10.25.
Sodium ion, Na+ (from baking soda), is neutral, hence of no importance.
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is weaker as a base compared to ammonia (NH3). Ammonia is a stronger base than baking soda because it is a more effective proton acceptor, meaning it can more readily accept and donate protons in a chemical reaction.
You can substitute baking soda for baking ammonia in recipes. Use 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda for every 1 teaspoon of baking ammonia called for in the recipe.

Ammonia, baking soda and lye. Ammonia to scrub the floor, baking soda to cook with and lye to unclog the plumbing.
Ammonia is about 1000 times more basic than baking soda. This is because the pH of a 1 M solution of ammonia is around 11.6, while the pH of a 1 M solution of baking soda is around 8.4.
