Apart from the price, the Rolleiflex usually came with better faster lenses, although you'd need to research various models as there were so many lens variations. The Rolleicord had a knob winder and I think the shutter cocking was a separate action, whereas the Rolleiflex had a crank wind which advanced the film and cocked the shutter in one operation. There were other differences like the Rolleiflex probaby having a brighter focusing screen.
Of the the two models, the Rolleiflex was considered the 'pro' camera, but many a pro earneds his living with a Rolleicord.

For a while my father did weddings with a Rolleiflex and a Rolleicord.
Apart from the lens options, the Rolleiflex has a crank wind which also sets the shutter. The Rolleicord has a seperate wind on knob and shutter cocking mechanism.
I have a Rolleicord V with a Xenar lens. Although most Rolleiflexes had better specified lenses such as Planars and Xenotars, you would find it very difficult to see any difference especially when stopped down a liitle bit. They are all very sharp.
