More appropriate would be difference between Nimbarka sampradaya and Brahma Madhava Gaudiya Vaishnava sampradaya .
The philosophy of Nimbarka is dvaitadvaita or swabhavika bhedabheda. It is very much similar to Lord Chaitanya's Achintyabhedabheda.
You must read the below article by Sri Sri AbadhBihari Das Kathia baba

Difference between Gaudiya and all sampradayas is understood by the below verse:
anarpita-carim ciriat karunayavatirnah kalau samarpayitum unnata ujjvala-rasam sva-bhakti-sriyam harih purata-sundara-dyuti-kadamba-sandipitah sada hrdaya-kandare sphuratu vah saci-nandana. (C.C)
TRANSLATION: May the Supreme Lord who is known as the son of Srimati Saci-devi be transcendentally situated in the innermost chambers of your heart. Resplendent with the radiance of molten gold, He has appeared in the Age of Kali by His causeless mercy to bestow what no incarnation has ever offered before: the most sublime and radiant mellow of devotional service, the mellow of conjugal love.
The sweet devotional sentiments of Manjaris following their nayika Srimati Radharani(Radha Dasyam) is unique in Gaudiya vaishnavism and highest of everything ever aspired by a sadhaka. This mood is not practiced by any other sampradaya .

Both are authorised paths leading to Krsna.
