there's no difference between both words...they're meaning the same...

Hi Laflor,

They are the same indeed as are the other forms -anyone/anybody everyone/everybody no one nobody. There is an indication that the most common use is for the -one forms and also that the -body forms are more common in conversation. Just a comment.
