Hello,
Not sure what context you need (for the comparison), but it appears they are both perennials. B. bellidioides is slightly less cold hardy (Zone 6) than B. minutum (zone 5). Minutum is often used in fairy gardens and both plants are taxonomically confused.
Here's a couple resources that may help:
