Can you swap one for the other?
Only partly. Most of peach's flavor molecules (286 of 371) are also found in tomato, but tomato has 224 that peach lacks. Peach gives you part of tomato's character without most of its fresh, green side. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
