Is there any difference between a fide rating and chess.com rating. I mean who might be a stronger chess player? A chess.com member with 1500 rating or an active fide member with the same rating of 1500?

yes but you can only compare it to live chess cause Fide rating is your ability to play chess without database and analysis board.

a player on fide doesnt play that frequently and some never play.

My opinion is that fide member might be way 'stronger'.
