Both shows start off as happy-go-lucky magical girl anime full of cheerful, moe, slice of life moments. However, as both shows progress, they get much darker, and you can see how the main characters suffer as a result of using their powers. Yuki Yuna is a Hero is more of a Magical Girl Warrior show, where the main characters transform to fight enemies that threaten their world, whereas Uta Kata is more about using magical powers to accomplish various tasks. Also, Uta Kata has romance in it, while Yuki Yuna is a Hero does not.
Schoolgirls bestowed with magical powers learn about the consequences of said powers the hard way. Want to watch friends having fun together and then get slapped by morbid reality? These shows got you covered. Plus, they're both rather slow burners.
(to me yuyuyu is miles better, both in terms of characters and story)

Uta Kata and Yuki Yuna is a Hero are two magical girl shows that also have slice of life peppered in. The magical powers from both shows come from a heavenly being, whether it be a god in Yuki Yuna's case, or from the Djinn in Uta Kata's case. Both of these shows are also somewhat dark and are not afraid to show negative side effects that the magic gives to the main characters.
