Difference between a servo and a stepper?

Servos will offer much higher speeds than a stepper and will offer a higher torque output at the higher speeds. Steppers will offer low speed, high torque capabilities. Steppers will be more useful for short, quick movements whereas servos may be more useful for fast, continuous duty type positioning movements.
