What is the difference between sketch-to-code and screenshot-to-code?

The input and the job. A sketch expresses intent: rough boxes and labels a model must interpret to decide what you meant. A screenshot is an existing interface a model must reproduce as faithfully as possible. Tools built for one are usually mediocre at the other, so name which input you actually have before choosing.
