I'm aware of the basics of each but wanted to know more from more experienced agents on the differences of the two.
 
One is life insurance, one is an annuity.

Tax treatment on interest earned is FIFO on LI, LIFO on the annuity.

NQ annuities have a tax penalty on the interest earned when withdrawn prior to age 59 1/2.

Everything else is product specific.
 
Thank you for that. Generally speaking, are caps higher with IUL over time?
 
You are really comparing apples to oranges. It is easy to understand what the crediting rate/caps are applied to with an annuity, although caps are higher with IUL harder for me to understand what it is being applied to.
