Sigma Bond Pi Bond
During sigma bond formation overlapping orbitals can either be one hybrid orbital and a single pure orbital, or two pure orbitals and two hybrid orbitals. During pi bond formation overlapping orbitals must be two unhybridized orbitals.
Sigma bonds are known to exist independently and allow free rotation. Pi-bonds must always exist along with sigma bond and the rotation is restricted.
Sigma bonds are stronger bonds. Pi bonds are usually less powerful compared to sigma bonds.
Sigma bonds are formed first when atoms interact. Pi bonds between two atoms are formed after sigma bonds are formed between them.
During the bonding between two given atoms,

 

Only one sigma bond is formed.

Here two pi bonds can exist between two atoms.
Sigma bonds are known to have cylindrical charge symmetry around the axis of the bond. No symmetry exists in pi bonds.
