Starterplayerscripts are scripts that get copied to the player (under players) https://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/class/StarterPlayerScripts .....startercharacterscripts get copied to the character (in workspace) https://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/class/StarterCharacterScripts

simply put, things in StarterCharacterScripts goes in a player's character when it is loaded, and things in StarterPlayerScripts goes inside the player object when it is loaded

StarterCharacterScripts i a folder that places all of its contents into the players model in the workspace, while StarterPlayerScripts places its contents into a player's PlayerScripts folder in the players service, if you get a free model that tells you to put it in StarterGui or StarterPack, put it in StarterPlayerScripts, they usually never actually use StarterGui or StarterPack through script.Parent
