Though A Mixed economy has many things in common with a Market economy, they are also very different in many ways.
In a Market economy, consumers and producers can make free decisions on what to produce and purchase. Whereas in a mixed economy, production, distribution and other activities are limited to free decisions and both private and government intervention are visible.

Then, there's the obvious difference between the two. A Market economy has no government intervention whatsoever, whereas a mixed economy has a little to a lot of government intervention. This is based on whether it is closer to the left or right side of the spectrum. If it is closer to the left, it is more involved with government, but if it is closer to the right side then it has much less government involvement.
Market economies are all self regulating. This means that there is no government involvement at all, therefore, all resources and corporations are privately owned. It is very different for a mixed economy. This type of economy is based on economic decision making. All resources and companies are either very strongly publicly owned and not so much privately owned, or very strongly privately and less publicly owned.
