| Program is especially developed by highly skilled programmer i.e. single programmer. | It is a special method of distributing and installing software to computer. |
| Programs are easy to develop and requires less time as compared to packages i.e. few hours or minutes. | Package is especially developed by group of programmers i.e. more than one programmer. |
| Programmers need knowledge of programming languages to develop program but not that much as compared to develop packages. | Packages are not easy to develop and require more time to develop than program i.e. weeks or months. |
| It simply includes compiled code that run from operating system. | Programmers need more knowledge i.e. intensive knowledge of programming languages to develop package. |
| Program include programming code written to solve specific problem. | It include methods or information regarding distributing and installing software to computer. |
