Both very similar systems and similar players.
Require smart, athletic QB's that can make quick read/adjustments at the line of scrimmage, particularly going from the pass to a QB run/shovel option.
With the Childress hire and now having Ault doing consulting, it looks like Reid really means what he says in terms of giving Alex Smith a shot at doing the QB position to his advantage.

Yeah, there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference. For example:
In the Alex Smith video at 0:39, he's lining up 4.5 yards deep and his halfback is offset and about 1.5 yards behind.
In the Kaepernick video, he's lining up 4.5 yards deeps and his halfback is lined up 3 yards directly behind.
