Both seems to mean "to enter". I had a feeling that the 入 is more "to put into" while the 进 is "to enter" ? But I also saw the "entrence" using 入.

他可以“进” 而不“入”。 入 means he will be in (a room, etc), while 进 is an action or trial only (he try to enter but there are possiblity something/somebody blocks him). just like you "look to" east but "see" nothing.– Daniel YangSep 8, 2017 at 5:25

入 (to put into/ to enter into)
进 (to advance/ to advance and enter)
进入 (advance into/ to enter) is a compound word
进(advance) is the main verb
入(into) is the resultative/ directional verb particle
As far as I have seen, personally, I see 入口 used as a noun, and 进 used as a verb.
