The one thing I'm positive that you don't have before paying $99 is access to beta SDK downloads and supporting documentation.
In years past Apple has released materials from Apple's World Wide Developer's Conference (WWDC) to the paid site but not the general area. I don't know what they're doing now.
As far as the other poster's comments, I'm not sure what documentation and sample code is only for paid developers.
It's a bit hard to tell without a painstaking comparison. The developer site looks different when you are logged in vs when you aren't, so it would mean taking detailed notes of both versions - which is something I don't really have time for.
I signed in with a non-paid iOS developer account and found the following.
Betas not available, as expected.
Xcode 4.5.2 shows available for download when I see that 4.6 is the current version available in App Store.
Getting started videos available.
Sample code available.
WWDC videos available

109 for 2011
113 for 2012 and samples for that year.
