The only difference is that you can't take away geometry or as AshesTigress says "carve". What maya does allow you to do is Push, pull and add geometry, to shape whatever you want. Though Maya also incorporates other features like animation, effects etc. It's not a program made only for modeling, or sculpting. As t1ck135 said Zbrush and ModBox are programs that focus much more on modeling, which help you out much more in that area than Maya.
