Finwitch:

One difference in their appearance:

Priori Incantatem splurts out spell after spell until the connection 
is ended.

Prior Incantato splurts out ONLY the last spell. (like that recall 
button on phone, instead of a list of latest calls made)

It also seems like only successful spells come out (as there's no 
appearance referring to the *failed* AK-curse. (then again, what 
WOULD it splurt out? No one died!)
