Not many differences between the two until you get past the 3rd degree. Some of the wording is a little different jurisdiction to jurisdiction but passwords are same. If you ever see a Prince Hall Lodge most of those follow the York rite.
No regular Scottish Rite body confers the 1st-3rd degrees, ever. If a "Scottish Rite" body claims to confer the "first" three degrees, then it is a bogus/fake organization that merely pretends to be Scottish Rite.
