They both mean to act in a way that hurts other people’s feelings but the difference is the degree of hurt.
1. Mean is usually for describing someone who hurts others feelings but not too deeply.
It was mean of the girl to ignore the boy who admitted he liked her.
2. Cruel is a degree passed mean where one person might intentionally (or not) hurt the person almost to humiliation. Being cruel is also associated with deeply hurting others.
The girl’s boyfriend broke up with her by sending her a tweet on Twitter. It was cruel to break up in front of everyone at school that way.
(Sorry my examples are about relationships but I hope they help in understanding the difference.)
