Both plots are ways of visualizing data. Both are used in statistical analyses. But I would say they are not very alike. Histograms show the relative or absolute frequency of data in specified (usually equal) intervals. The range of values in a single data set can be seen on a histogram. A box shows how the median and range of various datasets vary over time (or some other variable).
