One has sand in it, one doesn't.
Sanded is use for joints 1/8" and wider, it won't shrink as much as unsanded and has more compression strength.
Unsanded is used for joints 1/8" and smaller.
Both can be used if the joint is 1/8", just depends on the look your after.
Same with caulks, one just has sand added, unless you are using the caulk for an expansion joint on a floor in the middle of the field tile, stick with unsanded caulk, easier to work with.
