I think this url explains what you need.
Phonegap is built on Apache Cordova nothing else. You can think of Apache Cordova as the engine that powers PhoneGap. Over time, the PhoneGap distribution may contain additional tools and thats why they differ in command But they do same thing.

EDIT: Extra info added as its about command difference and what phonegap can do while apache cordova can’t or viceversa

First of command line option of PhoneGap

http://docs.phonegap.com/en/edge/guide_cli_index.md.html

Apache Cordova Options
http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.0.0/guide_cli_index.md.html#The%20Command-line%20Interface

  1. As almost most of commands are similar. There are few differences
    (Note: No difference in Codebase)

  2. Adobe can add additional features to PhoneGap so that will not be in
    Cordova ,Eg: Building applications remotely for that you need to have
    account on https://build.phonegap.com

  3. Though For local builds phonegap cli uses cordova cli (Link to check:
    https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-cli/blob/master/lib/phonegap/util/platform.js)

    Platform Environment Names.
    Mapping:

    ‘local’ => cordova-cli

    ‘remote’ => PhoneGap/Build

Also from following repository:
Modules which requires cordova are:

build
create
install
local install
local plugin add , list , remove
run
mode
platform update
run

Which dont include cordova:

remote build
remote install
remote login,logout
remote run
serve
