It's far simpler to just open up both fonts in the Google Fonts collection browser; in the "Compare" tab, the app will show the characters from both faces overlayed, so you can clearly see the differences.

Here are the fonts being compared:

to compare the Source Sans with the fixed width font would be silly.

I must admit this particular rendering makes them look quite different, with inconsolata being much thicker. I have no idea if they are being handled differently in some way.
