There is now a very similar question.

Local Contrast tools - ART vs RawTherapee

Hello, does the Local Contrast in ART correspond to the Local Contrast or the Contrast by Detail Levels of RawTherapee or a mixture of both?

Alberto has given a very clear answer:
Yea, they (ART- Local Contrast and RT’s Advanced > Wavelet levels > Final Touchup > Final local contrast) are the same.
