As others mentioned, different companies. More importantly, for non-US folks, as far as taste goes Dove is a bit better quality than Hershey garbage and even other Mars brands (M&M, Snickers) as it's their "premium" chocolate, but it's still pretty waxy and low quality overall. Given the price, that shouldn't be surprising, though, you can get a bag of the stuff for just a few dollars.

American chocolates are generally sweeter, but not always low quality (nor vomitty, like Hershey's); it can be quite good, especially if eaten slowly and with coffee or something. We sometimes bring See's chocolates for Japanese relatives for a bit of a novelty, and funny enough a few of them actually like it more but I assume that might be an Okinawan thing.

Anyway, it's like comparing a fast food burger to a restaurant burger, they're completely different animals, figuratively speaking (and sometimes, literally, hehe).

It's available in several other countries under the brand Galaxy

Wait.. so you mean Galaxy is called Dove in the US?

By jove, they're right! I looked it up and Galaxy has the exact same packaging. Description sounds the same but I wouldn't be surprised if the recipe is less sweet.
