What is the difference between molarity and molality?

Molarity is per litre of solution (temperature-dependent); molality is per kg of solvent (temperature-independent).

Molarity is per litre of solution (temperature-dependent); molality is per kg of solvent (temperature-independent). A reliable way to keep them apart is to focus on what each one is defined by, not just the similar-sounding words.
