Difference between FRS and GMRS two way radios

I don’t understand whet the difference is between FRS radios and GMRS radios, especially since some two-way radios you can buy seem to have BOTH.
Can anyone help clarify things for me? Thank you.

The radio channels are different, and so are the licensing regulations that cover those frequencies. Basically, as long as you are a US citizen in the USA you can operate these low-powered personal radios on the FRS channels without needing a radio license. The GMRS channels allow slightly higher power output that can get a bit further distance, but you re required by law to pay the FCC for a GMRS radio operator’s license. GMRS radios are also capable of using radio repeaters, which extend the radio’s effective range a great deal.
