No. The triangle is a standalone percussion instrument played with a striker. The snare wire is a component installed on a snare drum. They serve completely different functions in different instrumental contexts.
What skill level do these suit?
Both are listed for beginner through professional players. The triangle is versatile across orchestral and studio styles; the snare wire suits drummers at any level gigging or recording.
Which is better value?
Both are budget-tier products within their respective categories. The triangle is a complete instrument; the snare wire is a consumable/wear component. Compare prices directly based on whether you need a triangle or a snare drum upgrade.
