basically they both have corrosive effects.
but alkalis is more damage to the skin and eyes than acids.

here is a source copied from web

The corrosive effect of alkalis can be much stronger in other
circumstances and it is very difficult to wash it off in case of a laboratory accident.

As we come into contact daily with concentrated acids and alkalis in our homes
(essence of vinegar, drain blockage remover, etc.) we should be most careful to
comply with any safety notifications on the packaging!
