The difference is the type of peppers that are ground up. Paprika is made from grinding aromatic sweet red pepper pods. This spice comes in three main "flavors" mild, hot and smoked. Cayenne pepper is made from tropical hot chilies which are dried and ground. Cayenne pepper is always hot!

Cayenne and paprika are pretty much the same thing, in concept. The biggest difference between the two is that cayenne is made of a red Chile named - you guessed it - cayenne. Paprika is made of sweeter pepper varieties, such as bell pepper (capsicum).

Paprika is a spice made from ground, dried fruits of Capsicum annuum, either bell pepper or chili pepper varieties or mixtures thereof. In many European languages, the word Paprika refers to the Capsicum fruit itself. The seasoning is used in many cuisines to add color and flavor to dishes. Paprika can range from mild to hot. Flavors also vary from country to country.
