As an uncultured American who just likes buying from import shops:

Similar flavor, but Vegemite is milder. UK Marmite has the consistency of molasses, perhaps a bit thicker. Vegemite has the consistency of (homogenized, not natural) peanut butter, and is consequently easier to spread.

Also uncultured American, and agreed 100%.

I actually love vegemite in very small quantities, like really thin and not even fully covering toast.

Marmite is a mess and the consistency/flavor I find rather offputting.
