In one line
Standard is free and always on. Advanced is a subscription plus per-GB data transfer out of protected resources.
What gets missed
Advanced needs a one-year commitment and bills once per payer account covering the whole organization. Data transfer out of CloudFront, ELB, EC2 and Global Accelerator then meters on top of the subscription.
