There's loads of differences, start with the indictment. Here's a great writeup:
As then-FBI Director James Comey explained while closing the Hillary Clinton email investigation: “All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice” (emphasis added). Note that this indictment specifically contains allegations as well of two other of the key aggravating factors Comey noted at the time: obstruction of justice and clearly intentional mishandling of material.
If readers recall there was no evidence basis for Hillary intentionally obstructing justice or intending misconduct or disloyalty to the US. Also recall Republican talking points couldn't even settle on where her "server" was - depending on the troll and the argument it was in her "closet" it was in her "bathroom" it was in her "bedroom" it was in her "basement" all at the same time. Here... that's all actually true, with actual evidence:
In his basement
In his ballroom
In his **** bathroom, which also shows sign of active use.
The indictment lays out how Trump tried to play various attorneys against each other, with documentary evidence and testimony from those lawyers, such as even trying to instruct lawyers to simply lie about having documents or to remove them themselves to their own hotel rooms. To 1 lawyer Trump couldn't defeat the moral scruples of, they ordered them away, and then had another person, Nauta, with no such scruples, move documents boxes around first so Trump could look through them again, then return a portion of the boxes (I guess stuff he didn't care about keeping) back to where the first lawyer knew they were supposed to be, and had them return a handful of documents to DOJ/NARA and certify all documents were returned (which, was a lie, they were being shuffled around). They also have texts showing Nauta was instructed to move the documents between Florida and New Jersey. He also made mobster like suggestions to his lawyers, like repeatedly relaying a false story to them about Hillary ordering her lawyers to destroy her server data/blackberries, and repeatedly inferring to them they should be doing the same thing for him. Basically, he was looking for a Roy Cohn or a Saul Goodman:
