Portals uses Capacitor but it's built to be dropped into an existing native app (Capacitor doesn't support that today). It also has additional features for remote updates of multiple Portals in a single app, as well as some future tooling to make it easier to work with in large native app projects. As we build it out a bit more hopefully the differences will become more apparent. Thanks!

I realize this is an old post and comment but, for others who may have had a similar question like yours, as was the case for me, I think this page in the docs explains what Portals is and isn't (and when to use it vs using "traditional" Capacitor instead etc.)

Right, but isn't using a web view in a native app - what capacitor already is?
