You promised not to tell anyone means you made a commitment not to ever let anyone know!
You said you won’t say anything means they were just saying it so it means they can lie and still tell someone.
Example
Person- She told me your secret!
Me to my friend “ what? You promised not to ever tell anyone”
#2 me to friend - please do not tell anyone what happened
Friend- “ I won’t tell anyone “
* friend leaves to tell someone what happened “
Me to friend- you said you won’t say anything .

there’s nothing too different about them, I’d say it’s natural to say both
