Your aim is what you ant to achieve
Purpose is often much more philosophical, for example your purpose in life, the reason you exist
Although purpose can also be used for normal things, so when someone says "I'll buy a new TV" you could ask "for what purpose?" "to watch 4K videos"
And aim could also be used in a sentence like "I'm aiming for first place", but purpose can't be used here. But you could say "winning is my purpose" which would again be a more philosophical statement, saying what your purpose is (as a person; in life)

"I aim to have this project finished by the end of the week."
"It's my aim to replace all the chairs in the office."
"I took aim at the target."
"It's my purpose in life to help small animals."
"He did it on purpose."
"The purpose of this company is to provide honest, affordable service."
Usually purpose is ongoing, and a little vague. It's usually a noun.
Aim is specific, and usually has a timeline. It's usually a verb.
