They are both about praising and worshipping God, but they are two different categories, depending on how they're used and who they're performed by.
Praise music is usually performed by a specific band or a cover band. It generally has more technical aspects to it that are difficult for the average Joe to reproduce. For example, more complex rhythms and more intricate instrumentals. It is great to listen to and sing along with, and especially great to see it performed on stage at a concert.
Worship music is more accessible for a congregation because it is not as intricate, and therefore more easily reproduced by Joe Shmoe. The melody is easier to sing, the rhythms aren't as difficult to grasp, and the instrumentals are basic.
I prefer worship music in church because more people are able to sing along with it, and I think that singing/participating is important in worshipping God on Sunday.
