What is the difference between PMBOK and PRINCE2?

The difference between PMBOK® and PRINCE2 is that the PMBOK® Guide serves as a comprehensive guide for all project management procedures, processes, tools, and approaches within an organisation, while PRINCE2 provides guidance specifically for project management decision-making and processes. PMBOK® Guide tends to be more detailed and intricate, whereas PRINCE2 is simpler and more easily applicable.
