Hi there, have you found the answer to your question?
This Support doc explains the difference in general between using the standalone WordPress software and hosted WordPressdotcom https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
As you can see a lot depends on what you are planning to do with your site. If you have any questions about that, please let me know.
My 2¢/
If you want a static 3 page site, don’t give up on the blog page, which can also be used for updates, news, announcements and the like.

A generalized comparison is that WordPress.com is a hosting company that uses the WordPress.org software. With WP.com, there are more restrictions on what themes/plugins are available, and updates and such are all handled by them.
As for using the software (WordPress.org) yourself, this would require finding a web host to store your files. You would be fully responsible for updates, but there are virtually no restrictions (you can modify the software as desired, and install any themes or plugins). That said, all support for your site is up to you and/or your developer.
