Efectivamente, 否 sólo se usa en frases hechas. Aprende a reconocerlo cuando lo veas pero de los dos el más importante de saber es, por supuesto, 不, el adverbio más común al querer hacer una oración negativa. Hay que saber que existe otro adverbio 没, cuyos usos pueden tanto coincidir con los de 不 como ser totalmente diferentes.

they basically mean same thing. 否 is more often used in ancient Chinese or formal written Chinese, as in " 是否“, meaning ” is **** true ?". Besides, 否 is rarely used alone in modern Chinese. 不 is used both in written and spoken Chinese, and can be used alone or with something else( 不行, 不会, 不好 .....)
