I will try exemplifying: while some qplatonic contacts are often considered partners (as in QPP - queer platonic partner), regular platonized ones would be just acquainted or friended (contacts in case are not compatible with crushes (squishes & plushes/squashes)). Think: everything a romantic relation has, there could work in a QPR too. So in the end of the day, qplatonity is an amato-attraction (amory/amoury, amorous/amourous).
Queerplatonicity is encompassed by platonity. They are both seen as types of friendships or acquaintanceships, while qplatonicity being more deep and intimate than platonicity alone. Regardless of definitions, platonism in anglosphere is commonly associated with sociality and amicality. Let’s see:
Platonic: the desire to form/create a close (or closer) platonic relationship/fellowship/acquaintanceship with another, or a willingness to engage in a very deep symbiotic friendship, sharing interests and experiences, but without the romantic involvement of both parties.
Social: “aspirational” or mentor-attraction; a desire to be closer to and/or more like someone because of their perceived talent and/or wisdom, based on socializing/interacting with any particular person(s) or group(s), forming social relationships, interpersonal/group dynamics and societal relations. Wanting/needing social relationships within the public life sphere, showing yourselves as socially closer and more alike you might inspire in you this form of attraction.
Amical: on a higher level of affinity than in just social/interpersonal circles (that are more impersonal). This works as a simple or best/close friends, while having hierarchy between amic contacts as a result of some of them being more affectional/affectionate/affective or approximated/near than others. Some amicals consider proximate contacts as irmanal/hermanal (consanguineal/lineal, sororal/fraternal/germanal, brotherly/sisterly/sibly, siblingly/siblinglike), naternal/parental (zaternal/maternal/paternal, motherly/fatherly/rentherly) or otherwise familial/familiar.
Queerplatonity (quasiplatonic or quirkyplatonic): between romantic and platonic; neither romantic nor platonic, but can be functionally similar to both; a type of attraction that (while certainly aromantic) cannot be properly reduced to platonic without leaving some important aspects out. Also used as an umbrella term for any relationship that falls outside of the strict “romantic-or-platonic” binary. Can aim to live together, exchange affections interpreted as romantic, have sexual exclusivity among themselves, among other factors, without having romantic attraction involved.
Note that it all are just empiricism and socialized constructs, according to some identity narratives within their own subjectivities, they could all mean the same or imagine friendships as irrealistic and nonsensical/nonexistent.
