BNW ends with the hero blowing up the computer that drives the global system - victory. But there is only moderate oppression via drug control.

1984 is totally dark with the computer serving the Master, Big Brother (no Big Brother in BNW)... the hero is defeated by the system

Animal Farm is a distinct critique of Stalinist communism... it starts with the oppression by the capitalist farmer. In the end the pigs become the masters. Again. entirely different.

Orwell's style is distinctly dark while Huxley's work has a chemical induced euphoria and all is sweetness and light.

none "result in the same thing"

It doesn't appear that you've read any of them.
