shall and will are modal verbs means going to do something
shall is british
so these two sentences mean the same
but we use shall with (I and We) but will with ( I, He, She,It, You, They and We)

you need to know the difference b/t shall and will and then you can get the difference in your sentence
Will
CORE-MEANING: a modal verb used to indicate future time
Delegates from all over Europe will attend the forum.
Will you ever be able to forgive him?
Your suit will be ready for collection tomorrow.
SHALL
CORE-MEANING: will happen in the future, or intended to happen
I shall as president promote measures that keep families whole.
i have told the rest of the difference in your mail !!
cheers :)

it's all about between 'shall' and 'will'
we, normally use 'will' to express promises while 'shall' is to express a bit of obligation.
therefore:
"I shall be free this afternoon" expresses that you are 'bound to' while,
" I will be free this afternoon" shows that you are 'assured to'.
