What is the difference between BuddyPress and BuddyBoss?

Unlike BuddyPress, which is just a plugin, BuddyBoss is a unique theme and plugin. BuddyBoss was created as a replacement for BuddyPress, and the two share quite a lot of features. The theme approach is far easier to use than just the plugin, as it requires little to no meddling or implementation.
