Main differences:
You can lock your hands on top in freestyle.
If a guy's back is exposed for even a milli-second, he gives up two points.
After takedowns, the top man has 10-15 seconds to turn the bottom man (who's objective is to belly out and just not get turned) before the red stops it and they start on their feet again.
You see a lot of leg laces where the bottom guys are pried against each other in an attempt for the top guy to get the bottom guy to roll and in turn, expose his back repeatedly for multiple 2 point turns.
