Best Answer

An autotroph and a producer are almost the same. They both convert sunlight into energy. Autotrophs are a larger group covering all organisms that convert energy from sunlight or chemicals. Producers are organisms that use sunlight energy to create carbohydrates that they use for food or structural purposes.

There is no difference. They are the same thing. 'autotroph' is a fancy word for producer. They both cover the large group of organisms that convert sunlight (photosynthesis) or chemicals (chemosynthesis) into carbohydrates that they use for energy and structural purposes.
