Both can be used in sentence but, 'just' is more casual where as the word only gives a limit. Ex: Just - give me just 5 minutes, I'll complete. Only - You have only 5 minutes to finish. 'Just' is plain. 'Only' has restriction (Only - you need to choose either one thing like A or B) Ex: Sam can only complete this work where as, Smith can just help Sam.
