Let's take examples:
"Comme il vient demain , nous irons au cinéma voir un film d'horreur"
"Puisqu'il vient demain , nous irons au cinéma voir un film d'horreur". (Both sentences are correct and "comme" and "puisque mean the same).
Followed by verbs they're interchangeable , "puisque" is a less common word though.
"Comme" is a more common word used for instance when comparing things , persons.
Example: "le loup est comme le renard: un animal rusé "
When hesitating between these two words , use "comme" and you'll be right : it includes for sure all the meanings of "puisque".

hi
in French there is no difference between them except "comme " we put it at the beginning of the sentence and "puisque " at the middle.trust me i know French .but if we translate them to English their meaning will change -puisque- will mean "since" and -comme - will mean "like" .so in grammar there is no difference but in French not in English .in French they have the same rule which is expressing cause.
good luck

Puisque means "inasmuch as", "because", "since", as well as "as". You would put it at the beginning of a sentence or clause.
Comme means "as" or "like". You can use it to start a sentence, where you would use "as" in English, for a comparative, where you would put "like" in English or simply as a descriptive word, as in "comme ça" -- like that.
