They are very different subjects. Quant Finance is very mathematical, using statistics, machine learning, stochastic calculus etc. Finance tends to be more aimed at corporate finance and audit. If you want to work as a quantitative analyst/trader, do quant finance. If you want to work in audit or a corporate finance setting, do finance.
