Most measurements of bears are estimates, so it is hard to say, but...
Kodiak Bear males can weigh 800-1,500 lbs - one Kodiak in a zoo weighed 2,200 lbs -and measure up to 5' tall on all fours or 10' standing on two legs.
Polar Bear males can also weigh 770-1,500 lbs - there is one report of a 2,210 lbs male killed in 1960 - and also stand over 10' tall on two legs.
Basically, they are almost exactly the same size, though Kodiaks tend to be heavier and Polars tend to be longer ("taller")
