They're very similar, but "impact" sounds stronger than "affect".

Some examples:
1. "What if his actions affect the outcome?"
"What if his actions impact the outcome?"
2. "Don't let me affect your decision."
"Don't let me impact your decision."
3. "Does it affect you?"
"Does it impact you?"
4. "There is no effect on the economy."
"There is no impact on the economy."

Mostly these examples have the same meanings.

The only one that could be a little different is #3, where "affect" in this case could also include effect on your emotions, whereas "impact" doesn't really.
