One is approved by God, the other is not.
A prophet is one through whom divine will and purpose were made known. God revealed his messages to such ones and they became his spokesmen.
Fortunetellers are condemned by God. (Leviticus 19:31)Their messages are not from divine sources, but come from Satan and his demons. Satan uses his limited knowledge of future events in order to deceive people into believing they can foretell events before they happen. Only God himself has that ability. The act of prophecying ended after the death of the apostles, along with speaking in tongues. ( 1 Corinthians 13:8 )

A Prophet: Speaks only the words God gives him/her.
A Psychic: Unknown source of the "prophesy" - possibly evil...God warns agains the practice - it is forbidden:
In the Hebrew Bible, the Witch of Endor of the First book of Samuel, chapter 28:4–25, was a witch, a woman "who possesses a talisman", through which she called up the ghost of the recently deceased prophet Samuel, at the demand of King Saul of Israel.
After Samuel's death and burial with due mourning ceremonies in Ramah, Saul had driven all necromancers and magicians from Israel. Then, in a bitter irony, Saul sought out the witch, anonymously and in disguise, only after he received no answer from God from dreams, prophets or the Urim and Thummim as to his best course of action against the assembled forces of the Philistines. The prophet's ghost offered no advice but predicted Saul's downfall as king.
Saul sinned further in consulting this woman; the practice of necromancy was forbidden by the Torah.
Scripture says that a real prophesy must come true. This is another key to understanding the difference between the two.

A true prophet of God is one that has a relationship with God and hears from God, that is where the prophecy comes from...and the psychic, is not coming from a personal relationship with God but from what I understand...evil spirits that counterfeit the real prophets...

The difference is how many people each one maneges to fool. One fools millions for ages. One fools a few for a short time. Scientists have not show one psychic to have any power.

A Prophet is the one who teaches people to obey and worship one God. He tells people to stay on the straight path. He devotes his life in the way of God (Allah).
A psychic uses stars and stuff to tell you about your life---your future which is only with God. No person can know about you except God.
A Prophet is a faithful and devoted servant of God (Allah), whilst a psychic is the one who challenges God by claiming to share His Power.

We're all capable of being psychic, I think. A prophet is someone who claims to have a religious message - a psychic is just someone who claims a "sixth sense".

a prophet does not claim to be a prophet, and gives the glory to God for the instructions. a psychic claims themself, and wants all the glory for themselves.

I don't claim to be a prophet, but I do get premonitions which come true, which my Christian faith teaches me is the voice of God.
