The difference is: Are you focusing on similarities (to) or differences (with)? Here is a good explanation: https://www.dailywritingtips.com/compared-to-or-compared-with/ So, for Jacob's example, "compared with" is technically correct because it is about the difference between cats and dogs. However, I don't think many English speakers are that strict about it (or are even aware of the difference). I would say that in everyday Canadian or American English "compared...to" is used more often.

Honestly, they're pretty interchangeable, but let me try to use them in some sentences. "Dogs are friendlier when compared with cats." or "Dogs are friendlier when compared to cats." Yea- no real difference there. Maybe someone can come up with a better difference :s
