No, they are not the same. They are both starches and can be used as thickening agents, but they come from different plants. Each has different thickening capabilities and they have different flavors.
Is potato starch the same as corn starch?
Tapioca starch has similar properties to corn starch. The amylose content of tapioca starch is about the same as corn starch but there are some phosphate groups present in tapioca which I think affect the solubility of starches in water.

Can you get corn starch in the UK?
Yes, and Asda etc. But it's called corn flour in the UK. Same stuff that used as a gravy thickener etc. Look in the flour isles. There similar but not the same. Corn starch is pure starch whereas Corn flour is starch+protein, flour takes about twice as much to achieve the same thickening and adds a white creaminess where as corn starch is clear.
Do you use the same amount of rice flour vs plain flour for gluten free baking?
Since rice flour tends to be 'grainy', most people mix it with other flours, such as potato starch flour and tapioca flour. They also add Xanthan gum, which is used as a binder in the flour mixture. To get to ratios of flour mixtures, you can probably 'Google' something like "Celiac Disease", or "Gluten-free Flour" to get the correct amounts and instructions. In the meantime, I will try to find more info for you.
Can you substitute all purpose flour for rice flour?
Ordinary flour, also known as wheat flour, can't be used as a reliable substitute for rice flour. Wheat flour has different properties. Rice flour takes on the flavor of the food it is prepared with, while wheat flour has a strong flavor of its own. Rice flour does not contain gluten, which acts as a binding agent, and wheat flour does. Wheat flour tends to form clumps of dough when mixed with water, while rice flour tends to form a smooth batter, the consistency of thick paste. If you substitute wheat flour for rice flour in a recipe, the taste, texture, and amounts used will be incorrect and the recipe may fail completely. Corn starch, tapioca starch and potato starch are better substitutes for rice flour.
What can be substituted for cornstarch and potato starch?
You should just leave it out... or use corn starch. I think it would be best to use corn starch considering that's the closest thing to it! Actually, something even better would potato flour!!! Use this and it will be 99.9% the same. (Potato flour is, as well as potato starch, gluten free!)-Melissa
