One thing in common: Spiral and Agile include generating feedback as a 
key practice. One difference: Agile makes specific comments about 
communication, simplicity and courage, whereas Spiral does not.

A group of six people, each working on the same project, each working on 
separate components, each working iteratively... this can be Spiral, but 
it cannot be Agile. To be Agile, they would need to work as a team.

There's more, but that's one key difference.
