The only difference I know is -
PanCakes are cooked in a skillet.
Waffles are baked in a Waffle Iron.

Pancakes and waffles are made from the same batter, but pancakes are cooked on top of grease/oil and waffles are "baked" in a waffle iron giving it a different texture and taste.

Outside of the obvious difference in shapes, there IS a difference in the recipe.
I forget exactly what it is. (Talking homemade now). But the next time your in a supermarket, read the directions on a box of Pancake mix. They have 2 different recipes. One for waffles and 1 for pancakes.
Oil is definetely used for one of them.
It's very close but there is a slight difference.

The batter is very similar and they can be interchanged. But in the restaurant I cooked in we did use a little malt powder in the waffle batter. Of course they are then cooked in two different ways and I do think the extra surface area on the waffle gives you More caramelized surface, therefore a slightly different flavour.

Waffles are crispier on the outside and you use a diff iron. Pancakes are puffy

After a little research I found your answer.
Pancakes are comparable to waffles without syrup traps, although waffles often contain more eggs and are cooked in a waffle iron.

Other than one having little squares and one being flat, I don't think they really taste different. Some people may have different recipies for each...but they are still basically the same ingredients.

Pancakes you can make at home. But waffles you can only buy them.
