Mapping or Transferring

Hi ebgsupply,
Sure, these are the main differences:
Domain mapping
- The domain remains registered with your current provider.
- The process creates a connection between the domain and WordPress.com.
- The domain will need to be renewed through your current provider each year.

Transferring to WordPress.com
- The domain can be renewed through us each year (after transfer).
- The domain and site can be managed through one account.

This information only applies for sites hosted on WordPress.com (both would require a paid plan), not those using WordPress.org software with another host :)
