Different. Pandoc is about reading lots of formats (eg Markdown) and writing lots of formats (eg epub, pdf, html). It has enough config options that you can reasonably produce books with it. Pollen is like TeX. It has one input format, which is a Turing-complete programming language. It can output a limited number of formats. You have much more control about the output than with Pandoc, so can do visually pleasing typography.
