Technically both can be different but logically, look same as per me.
Save as Draft might be a cooked item, which you just saved, whereas Add to cart is like you are going for a final. order.

Save as Draft lets a user save the Catalog Item to edit it later if they don't want to discard the form. To edit a Catalog Item saved as a draft, a user can find drafts on the Request page.
Add to Cart Add a catalog item or order guide to the shopping cart to store at one place and checkout.

@LAXMI TODAKAR2 Save as Draft can be used in cases where the catalog item contains a lot of fields/variables and user would like to fill the form partially and use the draft later on to fill the remaining fields.
Add to cart basically adds the current catalog item into the cart. This item can be ordered together with other items later on.

Hi @LAXMI TODAKAR2,
For Save as Draft, you can let requesters save a draft of a catalog item while requesting it on the portals such as Employee Center and Service Portal, and Now Mobile app. The requesters can access the saved drafts from the My Request widget in the Drafts tab on the portals and edit the drafts.
As for Add to Cart, add a catalog item or order guide to the shopping cart to store at one place and checkout.
It's a digital shopping trolley where you can put together different catalog items and check out at the same time.
You can refer these docs for more info:
