The main difference is your don’t see any “indicator” on the cell.  The Input Message box pops up when the cell is selected.  To do this, first select the range of cells you wish to have the Input Message, then go to 
Data tab –> Data Validation –> Input Message

When a cell with “Input Message” is selected, the relevant message pops up right below the selected cell, which is good and bad.  The good thing is you can hardly miss the message; the bad thing is it blocks the cells underneath.Excel Tips - Move Input Message out of the way 2
