I’m a native Texan, also lived in CA, and “different to” also sounds somewhat foreign to me.

Midwest and I've definitely always believed "different to" was a British phrase and not even grammatical in US English (i.e. a native speaker who hadn't encountered it throughout life in UK publications would judge it as flat out wrong)

Native Brit, never lived in USA, "different to" sounds like what the King would say.
