Both are the same game on the same version (51.xx). The free version uses ASCII as a tileset (but you can mod other usermade tilesets and graphic packs)
With the premium version you pay for a premium tileset + premium OST + access to beta branches and steam integration (if on steam).

Strike the earth!>We're working on siege features for the time being. I started with a first stab at siege planning - forbidden hatches and doors no longer stop invaders, and constructed walls are now vulnerable as well (as promised, you can opt-out.) Next up I'll continue tackling the siege items from the dev page. This will include stronger constructions and other defenses, and more varied invaders. More info as I go!
