Útil = useful
Esta herramienta es muy útil = this tool is very useful.
Provechoso = something fruitful/advantageous
Una relación económica provechosa = a fruitful/advantageous economic relationship.
"Provechoso" is kind of a fancy word, not used much in casual speech. It's used mostly in essays, books or speeches.

- Spanish (Mexico) Near fluent
Útil = Useful
E.g. El dinero es ÚTIL para comprar comida
Provechoso = (adj), something you take advantage of (I dunno which one is the translation)
I can't think of an example using this word... We don't use it...
