Explanation

B2B collaboration is designed for inviting external partners or vendors to access your organization's resources (like SharePoint Online) using their own existing organizational credentials, making it ideal for business-to-business scenarios. B2C (Azure AD B2C / Microsoft Entra External ID for customers) is a Customer Identity Access Management (CIAM) solution purpose-built for allowing external users - such as customers or vendors - to authenticate into custom-developed applications using various identity providers. These two features serve distinct purposes: B2B handles access to internal Microsoft 365 resources, while B2C handles access to custom apps with flexible identity options.
