The technical difference is that anexpungement simply removes a criminal record. You were found guilty punished and now you want that record gone. Depending on the type of pardon the record of the incident is not "erased" you are simply forgiven of the wrong doing. Some States will treat a pardon the same as an expungement, some will not. You will need to determine how your State or local jurisdiction handles the two.
