Debian – the difference between tracepath and traceroute or are they same

I see two commands giving similar output but have no idea if there is a difference between the two or not. For e.g.

[$] tracepath debian.org

While I understand that both might have taken different routes, although had the same number of hops. I do see that the latter/second traceroute gives slightly more information about the servers in-between i.e. instead of just giving the static IP numbers, give the name/URL if somebody wants to address or figure out in-between address.

For what it's worth, here are the two packages/commands –

[$] dpkg -L iputils-tracepath | grep /usr/bin/tracepath                                                                            
/usr/bin/tracepath

and

[$] traceroute: /usr/bin/traceroute.db

I have read the manpages, and at least for tracepath it says the main thing is giving the MTU and if my guess is right, that MTU is probably the gateway of my ISP which it shares as PMTU (I'm not sure what the P stands for)

 _gateway                                              0.751ms pmtu 1400

all other connections are asymmetric which means they are prone to change.

Update – The link shared by the commentator seems to have some outdated info.

As far as I can tell neither of the commands need to be root anymore –

[$] which traceroute                                                                                                               
/usr/bin/traceroute

[$] which tracepath                                                                                                                
/usr/bin/tracepath

It has been hinted in one of the links shared on the askubuntu.com fora https://www.techwalla.com/articles/differences-between-traceroute-tracepath that traceroute has some more advanced commands

Unfortunately, that web-page is outdated so I'm not sure how good or bad it holds up today

[$] aptitude show traceroute | grep Version                                                                                        
Version: 1:2.1.0-2

[$] aptitude show iputils-tracepath | grep Version                                                                                 
Version: 3:20161105-1

It would be nice if somebody could compare between the two and share some of the findings.

Also could somebody share of the advanced commands that traceroute can do but tracepath cannot?

Looking forward to know.
