Soy is used more than Estoy they both mean "I am" however in my opinion Estoy is more formal. Remember Soy is permanent and Estoy is temporary.

las letras 'e' y 't'?
From lazarus: Soy means "I am", but used mainly to define, classify and identify. Other uses: tell the time, form passive sentences. Estoy means "I am", but used to refer to things in a given time and space.

Welcome to the forum. They both mean I am, but they are from the verbs ser and estar, respectively, which are used under different circumstances. This is a very big topic that can't really be covered in one thread. Here is a good place to start.
