Although is more common and usually more formal. They usually mean the same thing. Although is likely at the beginning of a sentence, "Although, we should probably leave later when it's not as hot outside." Though is usually at the end of a sentence, when speaking casually. "Want to play basketball?" "Sure, it is pretty hot outside though." Though can be at the beginning, but although is almost never at the end of a sentence. By the way, it is confusing it took me a while to think about this.
