Ad-Hoc Distribution: Distribution builds of an app, which can be installed on 100 devices designated by the developer on his provisioning portal. The distribution mechanism can be websites, mails or OTA. These type of builds are generally for beta testing or demos.

App-store Distribution: Distribution builds that are intended for general public(for sale). The distribution mechanism is App store only.
