Both have two protons in the nucleus, He-3 has one neutron and He-4 has two. Both are stable nuclei. He-3 is found in natural helium on earth, but only about 0.00013 percent. It may be more common on the Moon (speculation). See link below

The only difference is the number of neutrons in each nucleus: Helium 4 has two neutrons in each nucleus while helium 3 has only one neutron in each nucleus. (Both isotopes have two protons in each nucleus.)
