Here is the main difference is given below :

Dofollow links allow google (all search engines) to follow them and reach our website. Giving us link juice and a backing. If a webmaster is linking back to you with this link both Search Engine and Humans will be able to follow you. The best way to give someone dofollow love is allowing keyword in the anchor text. This means when you are linking to any website or page, use the targeted keyword as anchor text.

An example of Dofollow Link:

<a href=”http://www.google.com/”>Google</a>

Nofollow links attributes do not allow search engine bots to follow the link. That means if the website owner is linking back to you with Nofollow attributes, it does not pass on link juice. Only Humans will be able to follow the links. Though some time back Google made it clear that they don’t consider Nofollow link attributes but weightage of such links are really less. Even though, it’s a good practice to use Nofollow link attribute to those link, where you don’t want to pass link-juice.

An example of Nofollow Link:

<a href=” rel=”nofollow”>Google</a>
 
I also had the same question about this topic and I found your post. It's really helpful for me as I got my answer through your post.
 
The practical difference is that nofollow links do not pass the link equity (also known as “link juice”).

In other words, if you get a nofollow backlink, the linking page doesn’t pass the authority to your page. It won’t improve your rankings and transfer any PageRank. But can improve traffic.

The term “dofollow link” is used to describe a link that passes the authority as opposed to one that doesn’t. It improves ranking
 
The ratio between the Do-follow links and No-follow links is very much important in SEO.
Do-follow links have great importance for google and considerable as well.
 
From the technical point of view, the only difference between a nofollow link and a standard “dofollow” link is the presence of the rel=”nofollow” tag. The practical difference is that nofollow links do not pass the link equity (also known as “link juice”).
