Is there a difference between StarterCharacterScripts and StarterPlayerScripts?

Is there a difference between StarterCharacterScripts and StarterPlayerScripts?
I’m always using StarterPlayerScripts, because I feel like there is no difference.

StarterPlayerScripts inserts scripts into the PlayerScripts folder inside your player. Stuff like: PlayerGui, Character are not guaranteed to be there when localscripts there run, so waiting for those is usually a good idea.

StarterCharacterScripts inserts scripts into your character. Stuff like: PlayerGui, Character will be there. (Obviously the character cuz it’s inside of it lol)

They are both different.

StarterCharacterScripts are for storing scripts in the Player’s character when they join the game.

StarterPlayerScripts are for storing local scripts to the Player once they have joined the game.
