At a high level, BAPI's are ABAP function modules that are enabled for calls from external systems (can also be used internally).
A BAPI usually has defined import and export parameters. You call a BAPI via a program, input some values, and the BAPI executes and returns some values to the calling program.
ALE is a means of migrating DATA between SAP systems. You configure logical destinations, establish some migrating criteria and the system takes care of getting your data from point A to point B
That's pretty general but I hope it helps.

Hi there,
They don't have anything in common! Or maybe not both are in SAP. BAPI is a tool and ALE is a technique.

BAPI - U can call from Non sap systems.
ALE - Especially used to integrate SAP systems only worldwide. But ALE can also bne configured through out NON SAP systems by configuring Data Modelling.
