"Acordarse de" is more commonly used, and both mean pretty much the same (but not entirely). The difference is so subtle, that it is completely useless (if not confusing) for learners who are not fluent or close to fluency. Once you have a solid grasp of the language and you can "feel it", you'll be able to understand the difference through examples in a real conversation. For the moment, assume that both mean the same, which is what people call synonyms.
