Different
Tiki is more centralized. Tiki is the all-in-one model - all modules are part of the package while Typo3 (like Joomla!) is the small-core-and-add-what-you-need model (you need to use third party modules out of the package). Each model has its pros & cons.
Tiki is more focused on collaboration and structured wiki (customisable data management) over the web while Typo3 is more focused on web publishing.
Tiki is relying on the Wisdom of Crowds to shape its development model (while some people see it as the infinite monkey theorem instead). Consequently Tiki can suffer from a diffusion of responsibility since everyone only works on what interests them and not necessarily ensuring up to date documentation and basic reliability in some cases. Typo3 follows a professional open-source business model whereby people who contribute to the project can get compensated for their work.
