JCRaigozaBetween or among?
But note that it is almost always "difference(s) between" because we make comparisons of one thing to another one pair at a time no matter how many things are eventually being compared.

Unlike "differences between," you can have "similarities among" because we can find things that are similar or the same in many different objects.

Here are five different sculptures. What are the similarities among them?
Answer: They all represent the grace of felines: an Egyptian sacred cat, a Siberian tiger, a common house cat, a lynx and an extinct Smilodon.
