Which is harder: ballet or figure skating?

I find these two sports are similar to each other because they are all about art and dance. And the artistic skill and technique are quite the same. But I don't know which one is harder or better because I only do the figure skating so I have no idea what ballet feels like.

@GerOttman Figure skating is like ballet on ice. But my question is about the difference between them and their difficulty.

@SW-User I know, but I don't do either so I really don't know one way or the other.
