There’s no difference, these are two alternative forms of the same word. There are many like that, sometimes with even more than two versions, but they usually have the same meaning. Few examples:

  • ukradł, skradł / he stole
  • upadł, spadł / he fell
  • kupił, zakupił / he bought
  • ukończył, skończył, zakończył / he finished
