There is no difference.

Kinda like the difference between a prostitute and a s*ut:
Business or pleasure?
Course, the word Strumpet derived originally from the medieval music scene - it was a strange bagpipey creation that you could either strum like a lute or blow like a horn (or indeed, later, a trumpet) - so hence the use for a prostitute - you could pluck it or blow it, you were guaranteed to get the tune you wanted.
Trollop, for all its vaguely fishwifey sound, is no more than corruption of the male troll - technically, if English was anything like a sensible language, it should probably be trollet, and indeed might well have been in bawdy conversation in England, where the word's similarity to the French troilet - and later toilet - would have tickled many a rib. But just as in later years the English royal family would change their name so as not to be associated with Germany, so during the hundered years war between England and France, language got a severe de-Frenching, and hence the Trollop was born.

You can play a strumpet but you have to ride a trollop.

They are essentially the same thing. A loose livin' slattern.
floozies are their close cousins. They are also related to doxies and molls.
I always get flipped out at the library when I come across books by Anthony or Joanna Trollop and just see the last name in larger letters on the spine. I thought that they'd be just a tad saucier.

I like to think I am a strumpet, cute and sweet yet sluty. A trollop is more overt about her sluttiness.

A trollop sounds more skanky. A strumpet sounds more like a pastry.

My sister is a strumpet and my ex-wife is a trollop.

One sounds like a pet you can play and the other sounds like a mobile fishing procedure.
