The difference is "teşekkür" sounds more official and generally used for official thanks. Commonly, Sağ ol/sağ olun fits to daily speech.

thx

But if someone offers you something and you want to refuse you say teşekkürler meaning no, thanks.

Even more formal is teşekkür ederim. = Thank you.

Teşekkürler is more like "thanks."

You will also hear mersi used.

"ay, çok mersi" is the most popular version.

"çok mersi" is popular enough.

"mersi" is the classy version
