They're similar in concept, but very different in focus. Nuitka main goal is to be 100% compatible with cpython, something which will often mean sacrificing performance compared to pythran.

Pythran main aim is to be fast, and to achieve this they're willing to only support a small subset of python.

As Nuitka's performance gets better and Pythran starts to support more and more of python, perhaps they'll converge at some point in the future.
