No, they are not the same.  A simple IRA is funded by both employer and employee contributions, while a traditional IRA is only funded by the account owner’s contributions.

A SIMPLE IRA is a type of traditional IRA, generally funded only as indicated by LeonardS, but also has restrictions on rollovers during the first two years and is subject to an increased penalty on early distributions during the first two years.
