They differ by reliability, user interface, the value of the fees (exchange fees, withdrawal fees), the identification/KYC policy they have, the API they offer for use the exchange from 3rd party programs (bots)...

Go to: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/#markets  and look at the source markets indicated, then do your own research on each exchanges that you're interested in using. If you cant do your own research on these very very simple stuff, might as well leave the cryptocurrency space now.

Other exchanges differ in terms of what coins they support for trading, the trading/market fees, user interface/experience, security, etc
