Both stories are about an adult NEET that tries to change.
Though, the story is more heartwarming in ReLIFE than NHK ni Youkoso. NHK has more darker elements and feels to it.
Both are great anime for those who like realistic and relatable anime.
Both of the series have neets / shut-ins that get help from someone and try to change themselves.
Both have a hikomori as main character who tries to rehabilitate himself with the help of the people around him. NHK is darker and it contains alot of dark humour while ReLIFE it's kind've on the lighter side with humour and situations that are easier to digest.
Similar setup involving a grownup guy struggling in life and gets sucked into a mysterious program that aims to better his life.

First of all. The main characters in both of these shows are recognised as NEETs in one way or the other and they are given a chance in their lives to fix everything up. While NHK is more of a drama and sticks to reality, you may find a lot of similarities in ReLIFE which has this little mystery element to it. Anyways, if you enjoyed ReLife you will enjoy NHK.
It's hard to get back into things after being discouraged for so long. "Welcome to the N.H.K!" and "ReLIFE" feature a NEET protagonist who has hit rock bottom. When all hope may have seemed lost, one day, they are granted an opportunity to redo their life. The situations that happen in these anime are very relatable in terms of work and adulthood. While "ReLIFE" is a bit more cheerful and drama filled in its high school setting, the tone of "Welcome to the N.H.K", however, is darker with mature themes. For those looking for realistic and relatable life situations, these are great to check out.
Both anime revolve about a NEET main character that being supported by a complete stranger. While ReLIFE main character were supported by the government, NHK ni Youkuso! thinks that all around him was conspiracy by the government to make him NEET forever. Both great anime with tears and MANY laughter.

Both series tell about rehabilitation of old NEET in an equally weird, funny and sometimes sad way. In both we have a cool homie and a sweet girl with whom the love thread will then be conducted. I heartily recommend this series as a ultra NHK fan!
Both shows follow adult protagonists who have hit rock bottom and live alone in an apartment with little to support themselves. In both cases, they meet a mysterious person who is doing a program to help people readjust to society, and after thinking it over, they agree to take on the program. They also end up meeting a black-haired girl who seems to have it together by the protagonist's standards, but is soon to be revealed to have some serious issues of her own. The twist is that in "Welcome to the NHK", the person doing the program and the girl are the same person,

-Both center around the life of a NEET and how the protagonist slowly starts to rejoin society and overcoming his traumatizing experiences
-Both have funny moments but also more meaningful moments
-They receive help from friendly people
The only thing is that NHK ni Youkoso! has a darker sense of humor

Welcome to the NHK is a masterpiece, in my humble opinion, as i watched Relife i couldnt help but thinking back to this show. The main protaganist in both shows has serious issues he needs to deal with. Both get an opportunity to redeem themselves. How the story unfolds to help these two is quite different however. Both have lots of good humor and some drama mixed in. though i believe Welcome to the NHK is more deep and original in its story, but it is also slower placed in parts.

The story that explains that the main character who tries to get out of his Otaku's life is very interesting, coupled with the comedy that complements it !.
ReLIFE takes the lifestyle issues of a NEET towards a positive direction, showing optimistic growth. It's incredibly wholesome and does a good job managing the romantic elements. It was a real joy to watch.
Welcome to NHK does the opposite for most of it's air time, however the ending does perhaps a more "realistic" growth in the main characters. It's dark and beautiful, the ending is optimistic in my view. It can be quite difficult to watch, but I think watching both shows will offer a more holistic view towards the problem of NEETdom.
In my opinion, they both focus on life and realise the wrongs in life and to make the most of it.
