I am assuming you are asking what is the "difference" between these two, of the three men by the name of James, mentioned in the New Testament.
In the book of Acts, chapter 1, verse 13, both James son of Zebedee and James son of Alphaeus are refered to as two of twelve deciples. Many accounts throughout the Gospels make it clear, as do their names, that they were two different men.
they are for sure two totally different people
James of Zebedee and James the son of Alphaeus were both disciples of Jesus, but they were different individuals. James of Zebedee was one of the twelve apostles and the brother of John, while James the son of Alphaeus was also one of the twelve apostles but his background and familial connections are less clear in the biblical texts.
Of the twelve disciples of Jesus there were two James' One was "James the Less" and his father's name was Alphaeus. The other disciple of Jesus whose name was James was the brother of John and their father was Zebedee. The bible tells us nothing further of Alphaeus.

No. Brothers James and John were sons of Zebedee (Mark 3:17). James (called "the Less" to distinguish him from the other James) was the son of a man named Alphaeus (Mark 3:18).
