KVM is an internal part of the linux kernel module and uses regular memory and scheduler like linux, whereas Xen is an external hypervisor that takes the control and divides the resources between the guest machines.
KVM is easy to use and provide more features, whereas Xen is powerful but it requires good amount of knowledge to operate.
