The gorilla is one kind of ape, so apes and gorillas are not different.

Gorillas are a genus of Great Apes. The main differences between gorillas and other apes are in size (gorillas weigh about twice as much as the next-largest ape genus) and cranial capacity (gorillas have a larger cranial capacity than most other apes).
