What's the difference between LaunchedEffect and Composable function

What's the difference between LaunchedEffect and Composable function? Except coroutine scope in launch effect

val currentProgress = GlobalLoader.current
LaunchedEffect(progress) {
    progress ?: return@LaunchedEffect
    onProgressCatch()
    currentProgress.showIf(progress)  
}

@Composable
private fun ListenProgress(
    progress: Boolean?,
    onProgressCatch: VoidCallback,
) {
    progress ?: return
    onProgressCatch()
    GlobalLoader.current.showIf(progress)
}

When a Composable enters composition LaunchedEffect() gets triggered. If LaunchedEffect has key or keys it can be triggered on recompositions when key values change.

It provides a coroutineScope that can be used with animations.

And one time actions that supposed to happen when a condition is true

val currentProgress = GlobalLoader.current
LaunchedEffect(progress) {
    progress ?: return@LaunchedEffect
    onProgressCatch()
    currentProgress.showIf(progress)  
}

this one only triggers when your Composable enters recomposition and when progress value changes. And since you check for nullability it only gets invoked when null till progress ?: return@LaunchedEffect when not null rest of the code is invoked.

@Composable
private fun ListenProgress(
    progress: Boolean?,
    onProgressCatch: VoidCallback,
) {
    progress ?: return
    onProgressCatch()
    GlobalLoader.current.showIf(progress)
}

Is invoked every time recomposition happens. If your progress is not null it will be called several times if you run an animation for instance that could trigger recomposition on every frame your callback will also be invoked

LaunchedEffect vs rememberCoroutineScope. This explanation makes me confused. Please make it clear to me

How can I launch a function only onetime when I use Jetpack Compose?

Use of LaunchedEffect vs SideEffect in jetpack compose

how can I do text timer

Edit

Let's consider 2 versions of a function as in question.

@Composable
private fun ListenProgress2(
    progress: Boolean?,
    onProgressCatch: () -> Unit,
) {
    progress ?: return
    println("🚙 ListenProgress()2")
    LaunchedEffect(key1 = progress){
        println("🍎 ListenProgress()2")
        onProgressCatch()
    }
}

@Composable
private fun ListenProgress(
    progress: Boolean?,
    onProgressCatch: () -> Unit,
) {
    progress ?: return
    println("🚀 ListenProgress()1")
    onProgressCatch()
}

And they are called in parent as

@Composable
private fun Sample() {
    var value by remember { mutableStateOf(0f) }

    Slider(value = value, onValueChange = { value = it }, valueRange = 0f..100f)
    val progress: Boolean? = if (value > 5) true else null


    ListenProgress(progress = progress) {
        println("😜 Hello World $value")
    }

    ListenProgress2(progress){
        println("🍏 Hello World2 $value")
    }

}

If slider is moved in logs you will see something similar

🚀 ListenProgress()1
 I  😜 Hello World 5.4463773
 I  🚙 ListenProgress()2
 I  🍎 ListenProgress()2
 I  🍏 Hello World2 5.4463773
