Difference between Android in built Geocoder and Google Geocoding API

Can anybody tell me exact difference between Android Geocoder and Android Google Geocoder API

As far I know, Android Geocoder is platform in-built class and gives less result compare to APIs and also less reliable.

Is there any hard limit/quota for in-built Geocoder class ?
