The difference is very slight; coups d'etat are by definition successful whereas putsches are not necessarily successful. Both involve a sudden and usually secret and violent attempt to overthrow a government.
One of history's most famous putsches was Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch, which occurred in the 1920s in Munich. Hitler was imprisoned for his role in this putsch, and he went on to write Mein Kampf during his imprisonment. Likely because the Beer Hall Putsch is by far the most famous putsch, the term "putsch" usually refers to an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow a government, although a "putsch" could be a successful overthrow according to the term's dictionary definition.

The beer hall putsch (or push) was a failed coup that took place from 8pm, November 8th, to 12pm, November 9th, 1923. It began when Hitler and the Nazis entered the beer hall. Hitler's goal was to gain control of Bavaria and Germany. Hitler took the current triumvirate captive, gave a speech about the overthrow, all in an attempt to gain support from the triumvirate and the people. While he was doing this, Nazis were in Munich advocating for the new rule. Once Hitler leaves to look over the Nazis and their success in Munich, the triumvirate escapes and the coup falls apart.
