The main difference between simple harmonic motion and periodic motion is that periodic motion refers to any type of repeated motion whereas simple harmonic motion (SHM) refers to a specific type of periodic motion where the restoring force is proportional to the displacement.

Whereas  circular motion is a movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular path. Circular motion is also a periodic motion.
