There are some marketing differences where Vonage is set up to be more like standard phone service in terms. They're more focused on having an in-home wired system that looks and feels like a regular phone (with phone bases etc.), while Skype is strictly a software-based system on your PC (Vonage offers that too). But underneath, they're the same basic technology (VOIP).
The big difference though is that you can sign up for Skype for free, use it only to call other Skype members, and never pay a dime. Vonage requires a monthly service contract and requires the hardware to set it up as your home phone.
