The both explain obligation and necessity. Maybe "falloir" is more formal... We very use "falloir" in the expression "il faut".
Examples :
"Falloir" : Il faut que tu dormes ("dormes" is the verb "dormir")
Il faut travailler ( It is necessary to work)
Il faut que je travaille. (I need to work)
"Devoir" : Je dois dormir.
Je dois travailler.
Je dois partir.
Je dois vous laisser.
