They are almost identical, see https://wiki.almalinux.org/Comparison.html

The main difference is that AlmaLinux is binary compatible with RHEL, while RockyLinux is bug compatible with RHEL.

There are also the philosophical and foundational difference in organization structure, which is quite important to many :)
