Both of these manga have a master/servant in the front in center. Also both the master and servant are pretty remarkable. There is also the old English feeling and the sense of dark political secrets and a hint of the mystical.
Art style is also similar.
Kuro Shitsuji has a smidge more humor and Godchild has more gore.

Both are set in Victorian era England and feature a nobleman and his butler. Also, both are filled with mysteries that the main characters must solve and the art is beautiful!
Both seem to be set around the same time period. Both main characters' parents died when they were just children, thus making them take on the role of head of their noble family. They are both earls and are taken care of by butlers who have made a promise to always be by their side. Both are very dark and have beautiful artwork. I had read Kuroshtsuji first, and when I read Godchild I thought to myself, "Wow, this has a lot in common to Kuroshitsuji in terms of main characters"
Both are beautifully drawn, with fantastic characters which (most of the time) stay true to the Victorian age. Both have young Earl's, unique butlers, supernatural events and fantastic storylines.
I read the Count Cain/GodChild series first and completed it way before I knew the existence of Kuroshitsuji. However, the storyline for both is very very similar. They both grew up without their parents. They both have amazingly loyal butlers at their side and they also have a girl at their side that they want to protect. They even have a couple of recurring friends who help them out (Oscar in Cain, Lau in Kuroshitsuji). In fact, it's probably faster to list the differences between the two series.
Firstly, there's more (obvious) supernatural themes in Kuroshitsuji than in GodChild. Godchild is also darker than Kuroshitsuji. The

Both are based on young men who take over as head of their blue-blood, aristocratic English household. In both, these men are largely without family except for a highly mysterious butler who is by them at all times and who seems to excel at almost everything. The bond between Master and Butler in both series are of highlight because of how deep and unique they are. While Godchild is a bit more darker and gothic than Kuroshitsuji, Kuroshitsuji is also a dark series with a bit more comedy. Additionally, both men are apt at solving crimes that are plaguing England, most of these crimes

Kuroshitsuji is a bit like Godchild in a lot of ways; mainly both take place in Victorian England, and the protagonist is a somewhat cynical, mysterious noble that serves the Crown. The plot lines also run parallel, as Earl Ciel and Count/Earl Cain are both apparently called on a lot to solve mysterious happenings across Britain while their shady and angsty past is revealed in flashbacks. The main difference is that Ciel has an awesome demon butler to help him in all his endeavors, while Cain has Riff. Both also have a very very select group of friends and servants, with a few living relatives.

Both deal with a young master and a personally close butler to them. Each servant does whatever their master tells them to do and are very loyal. both Cain and Ciel sleep with a gun, are very demanding, have marks on their body (and only Riff/Sebastian are allowed see/touch them), have traumatic pasts, etc. Godchild is a bit darker then kuroshitsuji is though. Either way, if you love one of these series, love yaoi, or love ServantxMaster, you're going to love both series. XD
Both focus on a troubled mc in a gothic Victorian setting solving mysteries.
