They are essentially the same visa. The process is exactly the same.

If you have been married for less than 2 years upon entry to the USA after acquiring the visa, you will get a 2 year conditional green card.

If you have been married for 2 or more years then you get a 10 year green card.

I will be starting my visa process later this year. I will have been married under 2 years and I'm unsure if I need a IR-1 or a CR-1. Can anyone tell me please?

The I-130 is for both Visa types. The 2 year or 10 year Visa will be determined by when you arrive in the US. If you arrive before your 2 year wedding anniversary you will receive a 2 year green card (CR-Conditional Resident) and have to remove conditions 21 to 24 months later.

If you arrive after 2 year wedding anniversary you will receive 10 year green card and no other processing need happen unless you want to become citizen in 3 years.
