In theory, they should have the same capabilities. Without having the actual vehicle and going through all of the functions on both scan tools, it's impossible to know for sure.
One thing the Phoenix Elite has that the Autel does not is Topolgy mapping when scanning.
If you're buying this tool as a non-professional technican you should look at the Topdon One or the Autel TS900. The minimal functionality lost compared to the Elite or 906Max are things that you will probably never use anyways. It will also be significantly cheaper in the long run should you need to buy another subscription to update the tool.
