Kit homes are stick built homes. They are considered kit homes because they are all preplanned. In theory, everyone on your street could be living in a kit home. They would all look alike and have the same floor plan. The only customization would be your choice of exterior color, interior wall color, flooring, trim and molding, and countertops. Basically they are "cookie cutter" style houses. Basically all the same with only a few options being different from home to home. This makes these types of homes cheaper to build since all of the materials that go into them is exactly known, can be prepackaged, and can be delivered to the job site very efficiently. A true custom built home is "one of a kind." The floor plan, trim, etc. are unique, and there are no other homes like it. Quality wise, they are on par with the average stick built home.
