Differences between prismatics schema and clojure.spec

I have just recently started to learn some clojure and in order to make something like types (more like contracts) for validations etc, the go-to solution is a library named schema.

Recently I learned that clojure 1.9 however will have something similar named clojure.spec

Can anyone please tell me the differences between them?
When should I use one or the other, pros and cons, etc?

Eric Normand did this comparison, but as already pointed out you should definitely check the rationale, and there is also the guide and a podcast where Rich Hickey talks abouts clojure.spec.

The spec rationale is quite in-depth, I would suggest reading it: https://clojure.org/about/spec after that feel free to compare it with any other library you may be considering.
