spontaneous - acting or resulting from a natural feeling or impulse, without constraint, effort, etc.
comes from the Latin "of free will"
capricious - subject to caprices, erratic
caprice - a sudden, impulsive change in thinking or acting
Overall - I think spontaneous is a little more like "changing plans when it suits or when circumstances change" while I think of capricious as more "just changing one's mind."

basically, spontaneous means something done suddenly just because the person felt like it
capricious means someone who wants a lot of things and changes their desire frequently
