Austria and Prussia were not really that different. Both were Empires led by German speaking peoples who controlled lands both with German and Non-German populations, both were led by Enlightened Despots, and both had designs on creating a united German polity (i.e. Germany).

One of the main differences between the states, however, was that Prussia was primarily Protestant (mostly Lutherans, but some Calvinists) with a Catholic minority. Conversely, Austria was primarily Catholic, with a much smaller Protestant minority.
