"In the end" is a phrase used sometimes like "In conclusion", introducing the result of a previously stated narrative. It basically introduces the result of an action or statement. "At the end" means exactly what it says. I will give two examples: Example 1: "There is a short film at the end of this movie." Example 2: "We're at the end of the line." [Which means "This is the final stop (of a bus/train/metro)]

"in the end" is more of a saying when you bring a topic to an end. For example, you might say "In the end, it was a bad experience" or "In the end, we talked for ages". It doesn't refer to the actual placement of time, it is more of a summarising statement, akin to saying "basically". "at the end" is usually more literal, a specific time. For example, "he dies at the end of the movie", "at the end of the party, everyone went home".

Hi Dear, i would like to give you peace of information about your question the difference between 'in the end' and 'at the end" OR "at the the beginning" and "in the beginning"? when the beginning and the end of some thing is obvious and fixed, use "at the beginning" with the beginning of such things and "at the end" with the end of such things. when "the beginning" and "the end" of some thing is not obvious and fixed, use "in the beginning" with the beginning of such things and "in the end" with the end of such things. For Examples: 1 - We will start our work at the beginning of the following month. ( the beginning of months are clear and fixed, every one knows the beginning and end of the months.) 2 - They argued in the beginning and fought in the end. (now the time of their argument and fighting is not clear and fixed.) 3 - its your wish, you can come at the beginning or at the end of this year. 4 - they came at the end of July. 5 - they came in the end of war. hope to help you...
