There is one principal difference, and namely that the Vedic heritage was not originally a teaching but a reflection of the reality of life of humankind. Buddhism was a teaching / religion, one of many different teachings and religions of its time.
Vedic reality was neither theistic nor atheistic. It worked on the life and experiences of humankind making the practical spirituality a
natural constituent of all other aspects of life (economics, politics, arts...). Buddhism, although it is interpreted as atheistic teaching, is a typical religion today. As such, it is detached from the reality of life as a spiritual part of the life.
Vedic reality was not one of many approaches to life - because it was not a religion but a reflection of reality as it is. Buddhism founded another approach to spirituality, another practices, another ways of meditations etc...

However, all “post” Vedic traditions were “contaminated” with philosophizing for the sake of philosophizing, conceptualizing for the sake of conceptualizing, theorizing for the sake of theorizing, as also with superstition and
superficiality, spiritual elitism, and religiousness as contra-pole to “mundane” life...
