One difference is that SPARK is intended primarily for safety critical, real-time software (often for embedded systems), while Dafny is meant for teaching purposes and non-real time applications (i.e. environments where a large runtime and garbage collection are permissible). Dafny compiles to C#/Java/Go/etc. and is meant to be interoperable with them so I think it aims at similar use cases as those languages.
