“isn't much” vs “aren't much” vs “aren't much of”
I am quite confused between
There aren't much of a differences between those two
There aren't many differences between those two
There isn't much of a difference between those two
There isn't much difference between those two
Can anyone point out the right ones and explain why please?
Thank you

1.) is certainly wrong, the others are grammatical but need more context.

Gramatically correct sentences are 2, 3 and 4.
"much of a" refers to a singular subject
"much" refers to a quality
"many" refers to a plural subject
In number 1, the subject is "differences" which is plural.
