The essential difference is based on the eventual use to which they are to be put. The Change Capture stage generates a structure that can be used by a subsequent Change Apply stage to reconstruct the After input from the Before input.
A Compare stage yields not just the fact that there is a difference by also the direction of that difference - that is, greater than or less than as applicable - when treating the source record (comparison fields) as a single string.
You should probably also research the Difference stage.
