Stick pusher - forcefully shoves the stick forward independently of the pilot
MCAS - trims the aircraft nose down independently of the pilot
Having flown 2 x stick pusher equipped aeroplanes (ATR and Avro RJ) the pushers could be over ridden with moderate strength. And also could be easily disabled. And had comprehensive fault detection clearly annunciated to the pilot..
Compare that to MCAS which appear to have none of these attributes.
