@Hanah02 these words are synonyms, both means "for free", "free of charge". However, "umsonst" has another meaning, too, namely: "in vain", "without success". For e,: "Ich habe es ihm schon 1000 mal gesagt, umsonst!"

@Hanah02 "umsonst" is used often in slang, much more formal would be "gratis" or - if you prefer German words - "kostenlos" or "unentgeltlich".
