I think some of the core beliefs that the two share serve different purposes. I mean they may be the same ideas or actions but they're implemented in a believer or practitioners life for different reasons depending on if the person is Buddhist or stoic.

From what I understand stoicism is a little more of a caste ideology. It's about duty and knowing your place in things etc. Whereas Buddhism really emphasizes overcoming suffering by dissolving worldly attachment. Their effects may be similar in the sense that Buddhism effectively results in average Buddhists trying to avoid the mental suffering caused by living in the world with a psychic detachment, so that you aren't caught in a cycle of desiring escape or something. This is impossible, attachment causes suffering and desiring gives rise to attachment. For Buddhists, the desire to escape suffering can give rise to a lot of ignorant attempts to do so, because people mistake the concrete causes for suffering as their issue, whereas it is general psychic attachment to the world that perpetuates suffering. But stoicism actually just encourages you to shoulder the burden of suffering in order to fulfill your cosmic role in the world. I don't think Buddhism is necessarily concerned with your role in society etc., preoccupation with those things can create attachment. Buddhists laser focus on that, which is more about ego and the self and its mistakes in how it relates to the world.

I can tell you don't know what Buddhism means when it seeks to end suffering.

Buddhism is a religion, stoicism is a philosophy of life. Stoicism is purely based on worldly applicability, how to live a good live in the here and now, Buddhism is based on achieving Nirvana and breaking the cycle of rebirth. The idea of Buddhism as a life philosophy devoid of it's spiritual elements is a very recent invention from westerners trying to rationalist the religion into their secular mindset.
