Deceptively easy looking vs Deceitfully easy looking

I constantly confuse between these.

Could you tell me whether they are both possible in more or less the same speaking situation?

Something that is deceitful is intentionally misleading for malicious purposes. However, something that is deceptively easy might be that way because the person doing it makes it look that way.
