Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti.

Cacti tend to have spines or hairs or so I was told. Based on that I'd say that was a succulent.

It looks like a Faucaria which have these jaw-like leaves, maybe Faucaria tuberculosa.

As Wylie said it's Faucaria

Cacti have swollen stems and spines that arise from points called areoles, which are usually tufty.
In this one you can see it has swollen leaves so it's not a cactus.

Cactus is singular. Cacti is plural.
