Both mean the same. The word 'Saja' is the basic form of 'Aja'. And the word 'Aja' is commonly used in casual situations and sometimes it's also used in formal situations but only in conversational form.
And the point is that if you want to sound more formal you'd better say 'Saja' instead of 'Aja'.

same meaning. But you use 'saja' when you are talking in a very formal situation ( like when you are with your boss)
