Southwest will charge you the difference in either of the following circumstances - 1) You want to change your flight to an earlier one either online, over the phone, or at the airport. 2) You want to change your flight to a later one either online or over the phone.
The one circumstance where they don't charge is the one you originally described - where you miss your flight and want to take the next available flight.
