Here's the basics:

No support to speak of....no assist on deals (no chopping).
**Note: Pays 400 places instead of standard of 220 (based upon typical player field.)


PokerStars

9 player tables
T1500 starting chips
Blind start off at 10/20 with level increases every 15 minutes. Antes begin at level 7 (100/200)
Sunday tournament:$500k Guaranteed Prize Pool ($200+15 buy-in)
Many, many satellites to WSOP, WPT, EPT, and Stars' own WCOOP.
Monthly Tournament: $700k Guaranteed Prize Pool ($500+30 buy-in)
Hosts (support) available 24/7 to assist with problems and deals (chopping).

Generally more fish on Party but that sometimes means more suckouts as well. (Although Stars is sometimes known as "RiverStars" for the Bad Beats being dealt on 5th street.) Stars also seems to have more players from different countries (UK, Netherlands, Costa Rica, etc), whereas Party seems mostly US.

Why not play on both an decide for yourself?
