They are the same. “That’s fine with me” is probably more common. For whatever reason, when I hear “that’s fine by me” in my head, I’m imagining it being said in an argument- “well if that’s the way you want it, that’s just fine by me!! See if I care!!”
Whereas the other is more chill, “yeah, no problem, that’s fine with me. I’m easy.”
But, really, I think they’re totally interchangeable.
