Sweet 16 is for the 16th birthday, which for girls is important because it symbolizes the becoming of a woman. For guys it's just another birthday, so they could care less about it.
The Quince, Quinceñera, or Quince años (English: "fifteen years"), is a coming of age ceremony held in some Latin American cultures on a girl's fifteenth birthday, comparable to a Sweet Sixteen celebration. Planning begins up to a year in advance, and requires the resoures of several members of the family and friends. The family priest will perform a Quinceañera ceremony in church. The girl's baptismal godparents will oversee the spiritual celebration, and her many friends and relatives will attend to see the recognition she will receive as she makes the transition from girl to young lady in everyone's eyes.
Not too much difference at the end of the day as in both cases get to be lavished with presents & both have a lot of pomp & fanfare but a sweet 16 is more themed towards you & your friends having a good time while a quince is based more on a theme of family.
