To discuss the difference between these two literary devices, we must, first, know their uses in the texts. Though satire and parody have a similar intention, which is to criticize an abuse, a false belief, and a vice, etc. Parody is a composition that mimics and imitates the style of another composition. It is usually used to make a ironic or sarcastic approach to a sensitive or outlandish subject. The first example that came to my mind is a 2014 movie called <<The Inteview>>. This movie is a good example of parody. It took comic approach to criticize the severe social and governmental diseases in North Korea. The film stars Rogen and James Franco as journalists who set up an interview with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and are recruited by the CIA to assassinate him. The film is also heavily inspired by a Vice documentary which was shot in 2012. Satire, on the other hand, uses irony and exaggeration to expose vices and shortcomings of an entity, be it an individual or a complex and interdependent system such as our society. Humor might be part of it, but the end result is almost never funny. It is used to elicit thinking and realization in the audience. A good example I know would be the Saturday Night Live series. This series of TV shows often use its unique and farcical screenplays to criticize weekly news.
