The main difference is that these two quantities are entirely different quantities.
Torque is moment of a force about a fixed point; angular velocity is the angular displacement per unit time.
For a given object ,torque is proportional to the rate of change of angular velocity.

Torque is a measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate. The object rotates about an axis, which we will call the pivot point, and will label 'O'. We will call the force 'F'. The distance from the pivot point to the point where the force acts is called the moment arm, and is denoted by 'r'. Note that this distance, 'r', is also a vector, and points from the axis of rotation to the point where the force acts.
Torque is defined as
= r x F = r F sin().
The angular velocity of a particle or rigid body describes the rate at which its orientation changes. It is analogous to translational velocity, and is defined in terms of the derivative of orientation with respect to time, just as translational velocity is the derivative of displacement with respect to time. It is customary to introduce the concept of velocity by first defining average velocity as displacement divided by time. There the analogy with angular velocity is less useful: for example, if a body is rotating at a constant angular velocity of one revolution per minute, then over a one-minute period the 'average angular velocity' of the body is zero, because the orientation is exactly the same at the beginning of the time period as it is at the end.

torque is the cross product of radius vector and force
i.e. Torque = r x F ,
when r = 0 no torque
example: when u pull or push the door. u need to apply more force when when u push near to the axis of rotation but when u push it from a greater distance u need not to apply much amount of force.
while angular velocity is the
w = d(angle)/ d time , this is at time t.. the degree of angle rotated in an interval of time like we have displacement upon time take in linear velocity .. but here in angular velocity we don't have displacement but the point is rotated by an angle.
1 revolution = 2 pi radian
