ngModel usually use for input tags for bind a variable that we can change variable from controller and html page but ngBind use for display a variable in html page and we can change variable just from controller and html just show variable

ng-bind has one-way data binding   scope --  view   It has a shortcut    val    which displays the scope value  scope val inserted into html where val is a variable name   ng-model is intended to be put inside of form elements and has two-way data binding   scope --  view and view --   scope  e g   lt input ng-model  val   gt

tosh s answer gets to the heart of the question nicely  Here s some additional information      Filters  amp  Formatters  ng-bind and ng-model both have the concept of transforming data before outputting it for the user  To that end  ng-bind uses filters  while ng-model uses formatters   filter  ng-bind   With ng-bind  you can use a filter to transform your data  For example    lt div ng-bind  mystring   uppercase  gt  lt  div gt     or more simply     lt div gt   mystring   uppercase   lt  div gt   Note that uppercase is a built-in angular filter  although you can also build your own filter   formatter  ng-model   To create an ng-model formatter  you create a directive that does require   ngModel   which allows that directive to gain access to ngModel s controller  For example   app directive  myModelFormatter   function       return       require   ngModel       link  function scope  element  attrs  controller         controller  formatters push function value            return value toUpperCase                            Then in your partial    lt input ngModel  mystring  my-model-formatter   gt    This is essentially the ng-model equivalent of what the uppercase filter is doing in the ng-bind example above      Parsers  Now  what if you plan to allow the user to change the value of mystring  ng-bind only has one way binding  from model-- view  However  ng-model can bind from view-- model which means that you may allow the user to change the model s data  and using a parser you can format the user s data in a streamlined manner  Here s what that looks like   app directive  myModelFormatter   function       return       require   ngModel       link  function scope  element  attrs  controller         controller  parsers push function value            return value toLowerCase                              Play with a live plunker of the ng-model formatter parser examples    What Else   ng-model also has built-in validation  Simply modify your  parsers or  formatters function to call ngModel s controller  setValidity validationErrorKey  isValid  function   Angular 1 3 has a new  validators array which you can use for validation instead of  parsers or  formatters   Angular 1 3 also has getter setter support for ngModel

ng-model   ng-model  directive in AngularJS is one of the greatest strength to bind the variables used in application with input components  This works as two way data binding  If you want to understand better about the two way bindings  you have an input component and the value updated into that field must be reflected in other part of the application  The better solution is to bind a variable to that field and output that variable whereever you wish to display the updated value throughoput the application    ng-bind   ng-bind works much different than ng-model  ng-bind is one way data binding used for displaying the value inside html component as inner HTML  This directive can not be used for binding with the variable but only with the HTML elements content  Infact this can be used along with ng-model to bind the component to HTML elements  This directive is very useful for updating the blocks like div  span  etc  with inner HTML content    This example would help you to understand
