What’s the difference I can’t figure it out
You get half a point either way. You know what they say about half a loaf.
I would guess all of the various forms of draws everyone could still move. The exception would be draw by inefficient mating material, because the clock stopped. In a stalemate it is the persons turn to move, has time to move, but cannot legally move, and the king is not in check.

Stalemate is a type of draw. A draw can be:
Stalemate
3-fold repetition
50-move rule
Insufficient material
Agreement
Timeout vs insufficient material
Double timeout (only OTB)
It’s like asking, what’s the difference between a rectangle and a square?
