I have seen many article sites that offer comments too so in my opinion this difference is not fairly large. If you google about the difference between the article and the blog you would find that usually there is a slight difference of word count and the opportunity of posting the links in the body.

Article sites usually allow users to post the article more than 400 words and some prefer to post 600 words but on the other hand blog can consists of only 300 words.

Article sites usually offers a bio option for the authors but blogs do not.
There are other several differences too between the article and the blog sites.
