Is there much of a difference between perler and hama beads?

I'm currently using the perler bead brand. I found out about hama beads over the Internet and I would like to know if there is much of a difference between the two. I'm sure I could use the pegboards for the midi-size hama beads with my perler bead brand beads, right? Is there anywhere that ships hama beads to or within the United States?

    I think they’re the same thing, just go by different names in the US and Europe?
