Gluten-free does not mean low carb, by the way, so the fact it is gluten-free does not necessarily correlate with less blood sugar spikes

In general though, although sourdough does have fermented "starter" it is considered equivalent to white bread. So the simple answer to your question is they are both likely equivalent.
