They are really two terms for the same thing. The difference is that "suffragist" is the term supporters of women's suffrage used for themselves. "Suffrgette" was applied to the same people, but by those who opposed women's suffrage. "Suffragette" was intended to be at least slightly insulting.
A suffragist is a generic name for anyone who advocates extending voting rights to women; a suffragette is the feminine of suffragist.
The suffragists were more peaceful in their campaign to get votes for women. The suffragettes were more militant and violant, and some of their methods included arson, window smashing and hunger strikes. Both groups wanted votes and equal rights with men.
