The only real difference is that the webcomic is drawn like shit and the manga isn't. OPM has basically been typical Shonen trash from the start, at least since the Genos's debut. The introduction of the Hero Association further compounded this and the villain Garo is the exact kind of cliched nonsense you'd expect from Shonen.

While the story begins to take itself more seriously later on, it still has a lot of gag influence. That doesn't stop it from being typical Shonen-esque trash, though.

No, while it was more serious than usual, the fight was still very much non-serious with Saitama treating Garou like a toddler and with his "Serious" moves there clearly just being playful unlike the enraged Saitama in the manga in grief that his best friend got killed and them ACTUALLY dying to the point that they had to asspull time travel to reverse all the ridiculously high grimdark stakes from happening. Saitama actually laments that he's a terrible hero since apparently being a hero for hobby just doesn't cut it anymore while WC Saitama is still secure in the fact that he's a hero for hobby (that he still put his heart in which is why he was about to defeat Garou who didn't put his heart in)
The manga also literally had a power scaler that explained how Saitama's power worked and how he was exponentially growing and how Saitama was only able to beat Cosmic Garou "from the power he gained on Jupiter."
But Scotty going to Scotty.
