Is there any difference between these two commands? присаживайтесь садитесь
thanks

Присаживайтесь is more polite; it's not a command, it is an offer.

The command would be Сидеть!

Сидеть is a very very brute and humiliating command or dog's command.

Still it IS a command. Or an order.

Сидеть implay master-slave relationship. For example, it's appropriate in (or at?) the arm or prisons.
