I'am no translation expert, but generally I find cada is often used when we say each in English and every is used more when you would say todo(s). That is just a general thing I noticed of course there are times when you would use cada, but we would say every.
Sorry if I confused you the other day with "every day and everyday" I don't usually right those words I use them more when I speak. Usually I prefer to write "daily" for "everyday" and "each day" or "all the time" for "every day".

Each is used if you want to be very specific about an individual thing; every means a whole group of things. They're often interchangeable.
Examples:
Each of these houses has a new front door.
Every house on this street is blue.
Those peaches cost one dollar each.
I have enjoyed every movie that I've seen this summer.
Many times you can use either one:
I bought drinks for each person in the bar.
I bought drinks for every person in the bar.
Sometimes we use them together, as a way of showing emphasis:
I bought drinks for each and every person in the bar.
We also use "every" in compound words, like everyone and everything, but we don't use "each" that way.

"Each" hace hincapié en la individualidad de las personas u objetos, mientras que "every" trae a la mente el hecho de que existe un grupo. "Each" corresponde a "cada" (uno/una)", mientras que "every" corresponde a "todos/todas".

Each is both pronoun and modifier- When you walk each foot leaves the ground before the other comes down.
There are five necklaces - You may take one of each.
Every is determiner, it is used when referring to all the members of a group of three or more- The police want to interview jeweler about the theft.
