Generally, a contract is a legally binding agreement made between two parties with a common interest in mind. On the other hand, an agreement is a similarly engineered deal between parties but usually does not rise to the same level of legal enforceability as a contract does.
An agreement can be informal or it may be written; a contract may be verbal or written, but a contract will always be enforceable if it contains certain requirements. Modern contract management software takes an agreement and puts in the legal requirements that formally turn an agreement into a contract.

While a letter agreement may be shorter than other contracts, it generally includes the same kinds of terms as a traditional contract (e.g., description of the goods, services or purpose of the relationship, time of performance, financial terms, etc.).
Agreement. A contract is an agreement that is enforceable by law. A promise or a number of promises that are not contradicting and are accepted by the parties involved is an agreement. A contract is only legally enforceable. An agreement must be socially acceptable.
An agency contract involves one party acting on behalf of another in business transactions, while a service agreement involves a service provider performing specific services for a client in exchange for payment.
It is therefore a document which simply confirms an agreed level of service that is expected to be provided to meet the business needs of the customer. A SLA is not a contract. The SLA document should be seen as a list of targets, rather than a legal binding agreement.
The SLA outlines the service level targets, how they will be measured, and what the consequences will be if the agreed-upon performance targets are not met. On the other hand, a contract can cover a wide range of topics and is not limited to services only.

Both involve the meeting of minds and exchange of promises, but a contract typically entails a more formalized arrangement, often documented in writing, and carries legal enforceability. Conversely, an agreement can be informal and may not always be legally binding.
