They both amplify the individual to a specific degree. The difference is that kaioken in theory could stack on things such as super saiyan.
Hold on a second. Doesnt kaioken x2 double the users power? and x3 triples their power and so on. If that is true x2 kaioken in super saiyan would equal ssj2.
Yeah, that bit of info was never included in the film itself. It was mentioned in an issue of Shonen Jump which stated that Goku used "Kaioken Hyakubai", which roughly translates to "Kaioken x100"(Hyaku=100.)
Regardless, films and anime filler are non-canon, and do not reflect on the Z Fighters' canonical powersets at all. For example, the films/filler also had Goku using a Super Kaioken, absorbing a Genki Dama, actively fighting whilst using IT, using a Dragon Fist, etc.--none of which he's displayed in canon.
