It is more extreme and rigid.

Explanation: Totalitarian regimes seek to control nearly every aspect of public and private life, enforce a comprehensive ideology, and mobilize society around the state. Authoritarian regimes concentrate political power and limit political freedoms but typically allow more private autonomy and are less ideologically all-encompassing.
