It's easier to list the similarities.

Both are polymer framed striker-fired autoloading pistols with detachable magazines. Both have a safety lever on the trigger. Both use the Browning tilting barrel short recoil action.

Everything else is different. They are completely different designs from different countries sold by different companies.

XDs have several features that Glocks do not. Most notable are the loaded chamber indicator on the top of the slide, the cocked striker indicator on the rear of the slide, the grip safety at the rear of the grip and the ambidextrous magazine release.

Both Glocks and the original XD lack manual safeties. XD is now also available with manual safety.

There is also a difference in the grip angle of Glock and XD. The angle of the XD has been compared to the M1911. Many people who find Glocks uncomfortable like the XD better.
