To me they are completely different in taste and texture. Sweet potatoes are a starch, while pumpkin is just a vegetable. That's a huge difference is composition of the food and the calories. Sweet potatoes are often eaten just mashed with a little butter added while pumpkin is usually not served by itself, though many pumpkins can be eaten in the same way one would eat a butternut squash.
