Essentially a 3560 is a stand-alone switch which is ideally suited to a branch deployment where high resiliency is not a requirement.

In comparison the 3750 is a wiring closet enterprise class switch which provides high resiliency, together with stacking capability, and 32Gb backplane when stacked.

"In comparison the 3750 . . . 32Gb backplane . . ."

BTW, true for the 3750/3750G, not true for later family models, 3750E/3750X.

BTW, are you asking about just the original 3560 and 3750 switch models, or the 3560 and 3750 switch families (e.g. 3750/3750G/3750E/3750v2/3750X)?

Except for data stacking (and, I recall [?], power stacking on the 3750X), more-or-less, 3560s are the same as the 3750s.  Often there are almost identical "twins" between 3750 and 3560 models.

I recall there are a few models of the 3750Gs which do not have a like "twin" 3560, such as the (rarely seen) 3750G with a single built-in 10g port, or the 3750G-12S which supports additional (and larger resource) SDM templates unique to it (useful if switch used in a distribution role).  I suspect there's not an exact 3750 and 3560 twin for every model and no twins at all for the 3560 compact switches, but generally they are both using, I believe, the same underlying architecture except possibly for the 3560-C and 3560-CX, which might still use original 3560/3560G architecture or might be using like gen 2960 architecture.

"main different is stackwise Plus."

BTW, reference refers to 3750X.  3750E also uses StackWise+.  3750 and 3750G use StackWise, i.e. no plus, although you can build stacks using StackWise and StackWise+ (which I recommend to avoid as stack then, basically, loses StackWise+ features).
