There is no actual difference: the preposition "except" means "except for" (the double preposition is also seen in but forand as to). The use of "except for" to mean "were it not for" is rare in modern English (e.g. Except for the cost, wind energy is a fine idea.)

The word except is also used (much less frequently) as a verb, meaning to leave out or to exclude.
