          Cayenne pepper powder comes from the cayenne pepper. It is hot/spicy, registering 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville units. Chilli powder is typically a blend of chilli peppers and spices. Depending on the brand (or if you make it yourself) the heat and flavor can vary. Paprika is most commonly the dried and ground sweet bell pepper, though in some cultures, other peppers, and even cayenne are added. Of course, in Spain, there are smoked varieties (sweet, bittersweet, and hot).



          I would say that they are generally not interchangeable. Just a little bit of cayenne, for example, will bring quite a bit of heat to your final dish. Chili powder will bring more flavor/spices than paprika.



          It really depends on the final result you are looking for, but simple substitutions will result in very different outcomes.
