不止 or 不只?

不止 = 不止于这么多, 不限于这个数量. (not only this much of the amount).

不只 = 不只是这件事情, 不仅仅是这个东西. (not only this one but also that one).

For example:

她看上去很老，恐怕不止70歲吧？（恐怕不会小于70歲吧）

闖紅燈的，不只是騎摩托車的，还有開車的。

王小姐家不是只有她能幹，她的兩個姐姐也是女強人。

我們的產品不仅仅是內銷，還有外銷。

In any case try to use longer words (不小于, 不只有) than just use (不止, 不只) in either written or spocken language.
