The Structure:

Cambridge (CIE): 3 Papers. Heavy weight on Multiple Choice (30%) and a separate "Alternative to Practical" paper.

Edexcel (Pearson): 2 Papers. Practical skills are tested within the theory questions (Integrated).

The "Hard" Part:

Cambridge tests Critical Thinking. It rewards applying knowledge to unfamiliar scenarios.

Edexcel tests Process. It rewards following clear steps and using specific keywords.

The Verdict: Neither is objectively "harder." It depends on whether you are a Critical Thinker (Cambridge) or a Methodical Learner (Edexcel).
