I was only familiar with Golden Pothos before, and this is the one I have:

In Feb, I got this plant, initially the label was just houseplant at the store. And I asked first if they knew its actual name. Finally got someone a bit knowledgeable and she said it was Satin Pothos. Then when I went home, researching some more, I found out it is Scindapsus. But I don't know which specific cultivar. I am still observing how it grows. So far similar conditions as Golden Pothos, though I have not changed anything yet to its soil and container. My Golden Pothos is being grown in water gel beads, while Scindapsus still in soil.

I find the leaves of Golden Pothos a bit more glossy and more elongated heart shape. Scindapsus seems like there is a dull waxy leather-like sheen on the leaves. Also with heart shaped leaves but more compact. It actually reminds me of succulents but the leaves do not hold water, so I do watering intervals with this one. but much less light than what most succulents need.
