Apache is stricter because it requires you to list all the modifications you make to the original software. A copy of the license, with copyright and attribution notices, must be included in the source code and any modifications. A specific section on contributions outlines the conditions for accepting external contributions to the project. The MIT license requires a copyright notice, but it does not have explicit requirements for the license or attribution notices.

Apache 2.0 is almost as permissive as MIT, and better suited for some cases. I love the MIT license, as it allows the most freedom for users and creators, across the board. Apache 2.0 is second best, but might better in a formalized organization that wants more structure and formalized documentation requirements.
