No difference. The name is English and French, respectively. We (USA) commonly fill the 'cream puff' with whipped cream, European (or French) will fill it with a bavarian cream (pudding). Fill it with whatever you want. Savory cream puffs are with chicken salads etc. Hope this helps.

If I remember correctly, a profiterole is filled with ice cream, a cream puff is filled with whipped cream.

There is no difference, really. Profiteroles are usually smaller and filled with sweetened whipped cream and cover with a chocolate sauce.

and profiterole's are sometimes coated in caramel, like for a St. Honore.
