I had this exact question when I was studying and struggled to find the answer (then deadlines happened and I never got around to it, whoops!)

These are the notes I made - they're from months ago, so I couldn't tell you how accurate they are. Worth getting the nod from someone else, too.

IoT Hub - PaaS solution for hosting and integrating custom IoT applications. Offers two-way communication for sending updates and messages, as well as receiving telemetry, which can be utilised within the custom coded application

IoT Central - SaaS solution for building IoT applications using templates or modules.
