If you're talking about economy, both mirror each other and there was no general difference
I felt overall. Generally speaking, Savannah has the ports, the military, and tourism. Charleston has the ports, the military, and tourism. I found it a wash overall in terms of being towns for tourism with Charleston catering towards more affluent folks (King Street alone) and Savannah with more 'everyday' folks. Two three-trick ponies. Thus, when you said 'Museum City,' I thought you meant visually (planned grid vs. fort) and attractions.
But whatever. Both are fantastic cities that destroy 99% of the US.
