There are several differences between the two, but the primary is that gradual metamorphosis is a slow, elaborate process. Incomplete metamorphosis has been interrupted and stalled at some point.

What is the meaning of incomplete metamorphosis?
Hemimetabolism or hemimetaboly, also called incomplete metamorphosis, is a term used to describe the mode of development of certain insects that includes three distinct stages: the egg, nymph, and the adult stage, or imago. These groups go through gradual changes; there is no pupal stage. The nymph often somewhat resemble the adult stage but lacking wings and functional reproductive organs.
What is the similarity between complete and incomplete metamorphosis?
Complete metamorphosis is a type of metamorphosis characterized by four frantically different stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Gradual metamorphosis is a type of metamorphosis in which an egg hatches into a nymph that resembles an adult, and which has no distinctly different larval stage. They are alike because they both turn into the same thing at the end, an adult. Even though gradual metamorphosis has no larval stage, or it is different, they both turn into an adult.
