someone is used when indicating that there is ONE. Thus it is used mainly to show aloness.
Somebody is used to indicate a human being. Just a body. Used mainly to emphasize a presence, not a number.

someone /"sVm.wVn/ pronoun (ALSO somebody)
used to refer to a single person when you do not know who they are or when it is not important who they are:
There's someone outside the house.
Someone must have seen what happened.
Eventually someone in the audience spoke.
You'll have to ask someone else.
We'll need a software engineer or someone (= a person with skill of or like the stated type) on the project team.
NOTE: This is not usually used in negatives and questions. See Note some or any? at some (unknown amount).

Someone is a noun indicating a nameless person
Somebody is a noun indicating a person of importance
e.g. She acts as if she were a somebody since she won the first prize.

They are the same, only you can have an option which one to use in a sentence based on sentence construction.
e.g. Someone came here earlier today (It is easier to use someone in this sentence, you could use somebody too but, "someone" sounds better.)
