It all depends on what type of catapult and the amount of force, etc. According to one source
Here is a table that has ranges of modern reconstructions of various catapult designs (note that trebuchet range is not included, but it would easily outdistance any of the designs listed):
Two-cubit arrow-shooting catapult370 metresThree span arrow-shooting catapult (based on the remains found at Ampurias)305 metresSmall stone-thrower (with a 1.5-lb stone)184 metresSmall stone-thrower (with a 1-lb. lead shot)over 300 metresSmaller onagerover 200 metresLarger onagerover 300 metres

They can throw a few miles.
The difference is that the trebuchet sling the stone or fireballs .A catapult doesn't sling and it doesn't carry as much weight

A catapult does not necessarily have to be big for it to go far. There are certain factors that affect how far a catapult will shoot. The speed of shooting and the force applied are the main factors.
In some ways, yes. A trebuchet can hurl objects farther and higher than a catapult, but a catapult can throw with more force.
