State vocabulary
Traffic school, defensive driving, and driver improvement describe the same basic idea in different state vocabularies. California may call it traffic school; Michigan may say driver improvement; Texas may say defensive driving. The label on the brochure is not the product category you need to shop for. It is local naming for a state approved course tied to your situation.
Tap a state code to open that state's ticket course answer. Hover for the local course name. A + means more than one option in that state.
Arizona, Illinois, Kentucky, and Maine have no court-approved online ticket course available here. If you are in one of those states, try the insurance discount option instead.
Outcomes
People often treat them as the same thing. They are not. Your citation and court (or your insurer) decide which outcome is on the table, not the marketing name of the course.
In some states a completed course can support dismissing a citation. Your court decides whether that path is open.
Elsewhere the course mainly keeps points off your record. The ticket may still show; the record impact is what changes.
Sometimes the course does neither and mainly qualifies you for an insurance discount. Ask your carrier what they credit.

Insurance
Sometimes, and often it does not. When a carrier offers a discount, typical reductions run about 5 to 10 percent. A few states require insurers to recognize a completed course; most treat it as optional. Ask your insurer what they will credit before you enroll just for the discount.

Before you enroll
That depends on your citation and the court that issued it. Many courts accept online courses, but some require in person classes or a specific provider. Check the instructions on your citation or call the court clerk before you enroll.
