Similarities: Mitosis and meiosis both involve cell replication. They both involve prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Differences: Meiosis creates gametes while mitosis creates somatic cells. Mitosis creates two daughter cells, while meiosis creates four sperm cells in men and one egg cell and three polar bodies in women. Mitosis involves one round of cell division, while meiosis involves two. Mitosis creates cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell, while meiosis creates cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
Hope that helped you. 
P.S. There are more similarities and differences, challenge yourself and see if you can find them! Good luck.
