A flanger simulates the effect of repeatedly putting your thumb on the reel of a moving tape machine for a second and then letting it catch back up while a dry signal plays alongside. Flangers usually feature a depth control, which controls the intensity of the effect, and a rate control for the speed of the cycles.
Flange can be a subtle effect, thickening the sound and imparting a spacey feeling. Or it can be extremely dramatic when cranked up, to the point of making the original signal unrecognizable. This broad range makes a flanger a fun stomp box to start with.
A phase shifter cyclically eliminates certain frequencies in the overall sonic signature. Various phasing sounds involve multiple notches in the sound. Like a flanger, a phase shifter can create very spacey and open sounds, but it can also deliver more solid jet engine-like sounds appropriate for very loud, aggressive music. Phase shifting (or simply phasing) manipulates the pitch less than a flanger does.
