The main difference in avidity :)

Altera's USB Blaster has shielded printed flexible flat cable. Terasic's one has cheap ribbon cable.

Altera's level translator based on AD3304 from AnalogDevices. Terasic's one based on PI3VT245 from Pericom.

Alaso Terasic use more slow and more cheap CPLD (-10 speed grade, instead -4 in Altera's blaster).
