Kilimanjaro trek difficulty (compared to the Inca Trail)

I’ve hiked the Inca Trail before, and found it failry managable. Tough for sure, but definitely doable. Now I’m thinking about hiking up Mt Kilimanjaro, I know this is a much longer trek and at a higher altitude, but I’m interested to hear how each compares. I’m not a fit avid hiker, but can train before hand and am looking at the 7-8 day Lemosho route. Has anyone hiked Kilimanjaro and can tell me how they found it? And has anyone done both and can say how they compare?
