I read that だんだん is more used in casual conversation, but is there any
difference in meaning?

question
grammar adverbs
what is the difference between 徐々and だんだん?
In meaning, there is no difference and to say otherwise is nitpicking. They
both mean "gradually", "step by step", etc.

As you said, the difference is in the rank of the word. だんだん is much more
informal than [徐々]{じょじょ} (and it does not matter if you write だんだん in kanji as
段々).
