Airflow: Both block the airflow with the lips, but /b/ releases with vocal cord vibration, while /p/ does not.
Aspiration: /p/ can be aspirated, but /b/ is generally unaspirated.
-
P is more common at the beginning of words (e.g., pool, play).
B can appear in initial, medial, and final positions (e.g., book, cab, thumb).
