Hindus believe in multiple gods. Buddhists are not required to believe in any gods
Hinduism is older than Buddhism (it is generally believed to have inspired many parts of Bhuddist thought).
Hinduism incorporates a concept of hell (although in a different manner than Christianity; the Hindu hell is not eternal). Buddhism does not.

Hinduism is more focused upon the gods, which are just parts of a single god. Buddhism, at it's core, is about how an individual can attain enlightenment on their own without Divine Aid. Buddha himself doubted any gods existed. Buddhism puts much emphasis on the practice of meditation, while Hinduism has less emphasis on it.

Hinduism is practiced by people from the country of India, while buddhism is, I believe, a Chinese religion. I know that Hindus have different god figures, not just one. Indians have a caste society, so the different castes have different gods that they deal with. I don't know anything about buddhism.

1) Buddhism has a founder. Hinduism has no founder.
2)Buddhism is polytheistic. Hinduism is pantheistic.
3)Buddhism places emphasis on meditation. Hinduism places emphasis on yoga(though I think either religion can practice either exercise).

Hindus believe in 1000s of gods and goddesses.--Buddhists don't believe in a personified God. That is only one thing but I am sleepy right now.
