The diference is simple:
On-chain Smart Contracts
These are executed when a transaction happens on the blockchain. And they are stored right inside the blockchain as well.
Installed Smart Contracts
These Smart contracts are executed before the commit happens to the ledger or before the network is launched.

This is the basic difference i know. But where are these on chain smart contracts stored. In address or node? If it is address, what is it? – Gulshan Aug 08 '18 at 08:55
