The execution and billing model is a bit different.
App Engine is great for full HTTPS servers, and is billed on an instance basis (it does scale to zero when unused)
GCF is great for responding to events in the cloud (Pub/Sub, Storage, webhook, Firebase database) and is billed on a per function execution basis.
The actual runtimes are quite similar, though GCF is still Node 6 based for now.
