As per the outsource qa below are the major differences between AJAX and REST:

Ajax

• In Ajax, XMLHttpRequest objects are used to send the request to the server. JavaScript code uses the response to dynamically alter the current page
• It is a set of technology or a technique of dynamically updating parts of UI without having to reload the page
• It eliminates the interaction between the customer and server asynchronously

REST

• REST Services requires the interaction between the customer and server
• REST services have a structured URL and a request/response pattern to revolve around the use of resources
• It is a type of software architecture and a method to request data or information from servers
• IT requires the interaction between the customer and server
