    A phasor is subset of vectors; Also known as rotating vector, hence we can say they are almost same.
    Going in detail, Phasors are of two types : Scalar phasor & Vector Phasor.
    Scalar phasor contains phase & amplitude information.
    Vector phasor contains phase, magnitude & direction information.

    While Vectors contain magnitude & direction, It contains no phase information.

    One more difference is; Phasor is time independent, while vectors are time dependent.
