BEDtools can be used to compare VCFs and identify the common and unique variants between files.

Thx, what functions to use and could you show a case example of data processing?

The 'intersect' command gives the common variants, and 'subtract' the unique ones. Examples of command usage are shown at the BEDtools link I provided.
