Future Forms Compared
The main difference between the future with 'will', and the future with 'going to' is that the future with 'will' is used for decisions made at the moment of speaking. In other words, use 'will' to express your reaction to a situation.

The future with 'going to', on the other hand, is used to make a statement about something you have decided before the moment of speaking.
