Freeze:
In some cases, you can’t immediately deactivate an account, such as when a user is selected in a custom hierarchy field. To prevent users from logging in to your organization while you perform the steps to deactivate them, you can freeze user accounts.
Deactivate:
You can’t delete a user, but you can deactivate an account so a user can no longer log in to Salesforce.

If you freeze a user account, it gives you the opportunity to move the associated records, etc. to the ownership of someone else so they would be able to manage those accounts. "Freezing" only stops the user from being able to login. When you "deactivate," it frees up that salesforce license to be given to another user.
Hope this helps you!

NOTE:- Freezing user accounts doesn’t make their user licenses available for use in your organization. To make their user licenses available, deactivate the accounts

Deactivate (Delete) Users
You can’t delete a user, but you can deactivate an account so a user can no longer log in to Salesforce
The difference is:
- Deactivate means that you dont allow that user login in your org and it frees up that salesforce license to be given to another user.
- Sometimes you can’t immediately deactivate an account (such as when a user is selected in a custom hierarchy field). To prevent users from logging in to your organization while you perform the steps to deactivate them, you can freeze user accounts.
