If the Kickstarter succeeds, the pay as you go license will go away and 
the prices will drop for other licenses. The commercial product will use 
exactly the same code as the free version, with the exception of the 
password security mechanism. The commercial license will include the 
ability to password protect your code, however the engine code will not 
be accessible (to protect the algorithm.)

The differences are explained in the FAQ:

A quote:

The commercial version will be available as an annual subscription. A 
single license includes the ability for a single developer to create and 
build unlimited applications then distribute them royalty-free on all 
supported platforms. Unlike the open source version, it does not include 
access to the source code. It includes the script password security 
module which provides an additional level of protection for your code. 
It removes the requirement to redistribute the source code of your 
application when you come to redistribute it. If your subscription 
expires any applications built will continue to run but you will not be 
able to create new closed source applications or updates to existing 
applications until you renew your commercial license.

We also offer an enterprise class license which includes a commercial 
source code license, technical support with a guaranteed response time 
and priority bug fixes. A single developer may create an unlimited 
number of applications with this license during the subscription term. 
Applications created must be registered with us prior to redistribution. 
With this license you can embed the source code directly in commercial 
closed-source applications. A range of support options are available and 
an optional commercial source code escrow policy.
