alike - 'Alike' is stronger, similar things share some traits, but things that are alike could almost be confused for each other.
analogous - 'Analogous' is precise and often technical, it means similar in function or structure but not in origin. Useful when drawing parallels between different domains.
comparable - 'Comparable' implies similarity sufficient for fair comparison, the two things are in the same league, even if not identical.
resembling - 'Resembling' focuses on surface appearance, one thing looks or sounds like another, without necessarily sharing deeper qualities.
