I hope what you intended is the differences between CiteScore and Impact factor. CiteScore is a new journal metric launched by Elsevier in 2016 as an alternative to the Impact Factor, a product of Clarivate Analytics (formerly part of Thomson Reuters). The two companies already have competing bibliographical citation databases in Scopus (Elsevier) and the Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics).
For a long time, there was no competition for the Impact Factor. Started as an offshoot of the Science Citation Index, it provided a distinctive means of rating journals based on their citations, and rapidly became the mantra of journal quality!
Impact Factor is obtained from Journal Citation Reports (JCR) of Clarivate Analytics. As the Impact Factor is derived from journals indexed in the Web of Science-- another product of Clarivate Analytics, other journals cannot have an Impact Factor.
Elsevier launched CiteScore to compete with the Impact Factor. You can freely access it on the Scopus Journal Metrics website. At the same time, JCR is a paid subscription. Elsevier also claims that CiteScore is calculated from the list of Scopus journals, which is much larger than the Web of Science list

The impact factor (IF) is a measure to assess the journals. It produced by Clarivate (previously called Thomson Reuters).
Scopus is Elsevier’s abstract and citation database launched in 2004. Scopus produced "CiteScore" which is an another (differs from IF) way of measuring the impact of journals.

Impact factor (IF) is a measure to assess the journals after 5 years from established them and produced by Clarivate (previously called Thomson Reuters).It calculated for
But, Scopus is different in calculated method compared with the calculated method that used for IF, it Elsevier’s abstract and citation database launched in 2004.
Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature: scientific journals, books and conference proceedings. Delivering a comprehensive overview of the world's research output in the fields of science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities, Scopus features smart tools to track, analyse and visualise research.
The impact factor of an academic journal is a measure reflecting the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal. It is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field. Journals with higher impact factors are often deemed to be more important than those with lower ones.

Impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which the average articles in a journal has been cited in a particular year. It is used as an indicator of the importance of a journal to its field. Scopus on other hand side, is a large, multidisciplinary database of peer-reviewed literature, and features smart tools that allow us to track, analyze and visualize scholarly research.

Indexing in SCOPUS is easier than indexing in SCI/ SCIE.
It is my personal experience.
Thanks.
It is different classification and the best one is ISI Web of Knowledge.

I agree with Dr. Shibabrata Pattanayak and Dr. Arvind answers.
Good luck.
Yes dear Dr. Mahesh Kumar, well done, of course Scopus is the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature, scientific journals, books and conference proceedings.
Best Greetings.
IF is evaluation parameter, and Scopus is trusted data-base, so there is no similarity between these two terms, or it is impossible to differentiate them at all. It is better to compare IF with Citescore.

Thank you so much dear Dr. Khulood for kind agreement.
I highly appreciate you.
With my best wishes.
IF is a measure reflecting the yearly average number of citation of the journal and is used to compare different journals within a certain field
Impact factor is a measurement index while Scopus is a repository for scientific literature! Hence, there is no basis for comparison.
The impact factor (IF) is a measure of the frequency with which, the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year. It is used to measure the importance or rank of a journal by calculating the times its articles are cited. Scopus is a bibliographic database containing abstracts and citations for academic journal articles.
Impact factor is a measure of citation frequency of a journal article on yearly bases. Whereas, Scopus is a bibliographic database containing abstracts and citations for academic journal articles.
There is no similarity between them because impact factor is a journal evaluation factor and scopus is only trusted data base.
These are two totally different things. IF basically measure the citation of a particular article in an year while Scopus is bibliography database.
Impact factor is the ratio of number of citations to the number of papers published by a journal for a given period.
