They are two very different beasts. PixInsight can pick up a file at any stage of the processing flow. Startools is a sequential flow like CCD Stack but with the advantage it tracks the changes you're doing internally and can re apply them in the proper order when you stop tracking. So it's a non destructive flow. A bit like you have layers in Photoshop.
In PixInsight you can save processes on your desktop and save the whole project along with the photos. So it's just a matter of recalling a project and input new subs.
Startools saves a txt file called Startools.log that records every step from opening the file until saving the final. So again you can use that to apply the same processing flow to a new image.
In term of time spent processing they're about the same once you're used to both.
Another good thing about Startools is you can provide the log to another user with the original raw file and he'll be able to retrace every single step and get the exact same result. Even with a new raw file.
