For the Play store, the developer provides a compiled version of the program.

For F-droid, the source code must be available online, and F-droid compiles the program, not the developer. This way you can be sure the source code is the actual code used.

Usually the two versions are the same, but sometimes the f-droid version is the play store paid version, but for free.
