One the main differences is that Neptune has a source of heat deep inside the planet.

So, even though it's much further from the Sun, Neptune's surface temperature is about the same as the temperature on Uranus.

Also, the heat source is probably the cause of the more active weather systems seem in Neptune's atmosphere.

Also, Neptune is denser than Uranus.

So, even though Uranus has a slightly larger volume, Neptune has more mass.

Uranus has a "weird " tilt. Its axis of rotation is tilted by about 90 degrees.

Neptune has a more normal tilt, roughly similar to Earth's.

Unlike Uranus and Neptune, Pluto is small compared to Earth. It is not made our of gas, another fact unlike the two bigger planets. Neptune has storms which Uranus and Pluto don't have. Uranus is tipped on its side unlike Neptune and Pluto.
