Session State	Application State
Session state can be stored in memory on the server as well as client’s cookies.	Application state is stored only in the memory on the server.
Session state is user and browser specific.	Application state is application specific.
If client has disabled cookies in his browser then session state will be stored in URL.	Application state does not track client’s cookies or URL.
Session state has scope to the current browser only. If we change the browser session id is changed.	Application state has no scope to the current browser. If we change the browser application id remains same.
