The two plans are also different in that 401(k) plans do not offer a three-year Pre-Retirement Catch-Up; and 457(b) plans do.

Differences Compared With 401(k) and 403(b) Plans Unlike 403(b) and 401(k) accounts, participants can take regular withdrawals from 457 plans as soon as they retire, regardless of whether they have reached age 59½. These distributions are taxed as regular income, but the 10% early withdrawal penalty is never applied.
Cons of 457(b) plans: Fewer investing options than 401(k)s (Not as common today) Only available to certain employees employed by state or local governments or qualifying nonprofits. Employer contributions count toward the annual limit. Non-governmental 457(b) plans are riskier.
