Schema helps search engines understand your page better.

Breadcrumbs help both search engines and users navigate your site better.
 
Breadcrumbs are just a part of the schema. There are many schemas each serves its own purpose. Breadcrumbs help to display the URL in SERP in a navigation pattern so that users can easily understand where they are going to land. From my point of view, breadcrumbs is pretty useless now because back in the day the site which has the breadcrumb schema use to display the URL like this. At the beginning of 2021 Google automatically generates this.

Bingo, love the simplistic response without getting into the technicalities. Can't agree enough!!
 
Schema is the vocabulary that helps you to redefine search on search engine and breadcrumbs are those used to locate where you are in the search engine.
 
Schema is a way of organizing information on a web page. They are used to help search engines understand the content of a page. Breadcrumbs are a navigation aid that helps users understand where they are on a website and how they can get to other pages.

Breadcrumbs often show the hierarchy of the pages on a website. Schema is typically used for data on web pages, whereas breadcrumbs are designed to be part of the user interface design/user experience.
