So far from what I’ve understood is that they’re both illegitimate access points designed to trick users into connecting in an attempt to steal their data, so what’s the difference?

Rogue access point is like, we work in an office. At lunch a few employees you like complain that they don’t have cell or WiFi access during lunch. So to impress everyone, you bring in your own router, unplug your computers Ethernet during lunch, and plug in your router, telling everyone to connect to it.
An Evil Twin is like, I make a router that listens for devices in the area. All devices are constantly sending signals asking if their known networks are available. My Evil Twin hears this call, reconfigures its host name and tells the sending device, *I’m the x network that you’re looking for, send me the password hash…. Correct… Welcome to the (logged) internet. Here, have some extra files free of charge*
