Indeed the looks are pretty much the same. In the README the author  
acknowledges this:

I don't know whether LaTeXiT uses portions of code from LaTeX  
Equation Editor. If it does, there might be licensing issues: LaTeXiT  
isn't GPL'd (nor is the source code available), whereas LaTeX  
Equation Editor acknowledges using code from Equation Service:

which itself is GPL'd.
