"sooner or later" = maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, eventually

Example:

Sooner or later, I will be fluent in English. ( I will be fluent in English eventually. It could be any time. It could happen soon, or it could be later. It could even happen much, much later than I wanted. But eventually it will happen.)

"sooner than later" = really soon; really fast

Example:

Sooner than later, I need to be fluent in English. (I need to be fluent in English really fast. I can't wait.)

I hope this helps.

It really depends on the context. They both can have different meanings. Sooner or later: it was going to happen eventually "He was going to get fired from his job sooner or later". Sooner rather than later/sooner than later: as soon as possible It is a little more informal. And I don't really hear people use this as much. "Let's go to the mall sooner than later". Which just means "let's go to the mall as soon as possible".
