Only one of the two rockets actually reach space. There's no comparison.
Technically, the New Shepard capsule briefly crosses the Kármán line.
You are correct that there is no comparison though. Starship could probably put the entire New Shepard vehicle into orbit as a payload.
Okay... One reaches a technical definition of space. The other reaches orbit.
Blue Origin has yet to put anything aside from a handful of its engines into orbit. We'll see if that changes in the next couple months.
If we’re going to be pedantic: Starship hasn’t reached orbit yet either. All flights so far were suborbital.
