Why the need for a comparison in the first place? Well, because underfloor heating utilises a totally different method of heat transfer and therefore performs in quite a unique manor.

Underfloor heating

Underfloor heating heats up a large floor area, the result is a soft heat that gently rises from the ground up. Evenly heating up the air above. The nett result is a comfortable room with the lower level slightly warmer than the upper level. Resulting in your feet being warmer than your head. This is what makes underfloor heating so popular. The same way the sun heats up the earth underfloor heating will heat up your room.

Conventional heaters

Conventional heaters heat up the air surrounding them resulting in concentrated areas of heat that rises up. Thus creating a circular flow of air where your head is warmer than your feet. A lot of the warm air is wasted on areas higher up in the room that are not utilized. Cold floors have the habit of "gripping" the cold air in the areas where we operate in.
