The only biological answer is that both have a small internal support. in squids this is thin uncalcified material and is known as a pen. in cuttlefish it it a hard bony plate. people will also say things like that cuttlefish are broader, or have eyes towards the front of their head but there are so many variations between species of cephalopods that this is not reliable. hope this helps.

I'm not sure about my spelling, but the squid is related to the octopus in a category called cephlapods, meaning "head foot". They don't have bones or skeletons. Fish have skeletons and they usually have scales on their outside.

A snail and a squid? Really? Okay then. Well... (P.S. You misspelled 'difference')

Snail is a common name for almost all members of the molluscan class Gastropoda that have coiled shells in the adult stage. When the word is used in a general sense, it includes sea snails, land snails and freshwater snails. Otherwise snail-like creatures that lack a shell (or have only a very small one) are called slugs.

Squids are marine cephalopods of the order Teuthida, which comprises around 300 species. Like all other cephalopods, squid have a distinct head, bilateral symmetry, a mantle, and arms. Squid, like cuttlefish, have eight arms arranged in pairs and two longer tentacles. (The only known exception is the bigfin squid group, which have ten very long, thin arms of equal length.)
