HTMX can be used as a tool for building SPAs, so I don't think it makes sense to compare it with SPA.

What's an SPA if not a single web page where clicking on things causes that UI to update in-place in different ways?

htmlx is what you would have on the front end when you do server rendering. Server has to do quite a bit, routing among other things.

In SPA server just serves a single page and routing is all done in the client.
