The two words are indeed different so let's first look at the word fee. Fee usually describes the amount of money charged for some professional service like lawyer's fees, or professional advice like counselling fees. Here are a few examples.
International school fees have risen by 5% this year.
I have to pay the solicitor's fees for helping me make a will.
What are the fees for a weekly house cleaning service?
Another example is when you register for a course. There may be a registration fee which pays for your application processing. Likewise if you were to use an agent to help you process a visa application, there would be an agent's fee as you have to pay for their help. Sometimes, well, in the UK at least, a plumber or an electrician will charge you a call-out fee.
