According to Wikipedia definition:

"A heliport is a small airport suitable only for use by helicopters. 
Heliports typically contain one or more helipads and may have limited 
facilities such as fuel, lighting, a windsock, or even hangars. In 
larger towns and cities, customs facilities may be available at a 
heliport."

[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliport ]

Helipad is just a landing place (for example some hospitals have them 
alone), heliport is more than this, so they are not the same. Look at 
this heliport:

It's tiny and have only one helipad, but the infrastructure contains 
some terminals and the apron.
