Yes, there are many obvious interface similarities there.

My point is that there's a difference that's not so obvious. On Windows,
there's a services list where you can start or stop services, and change
them to start automatically, as needed, or only when started manually.
There's no such centralized list on the Mac - its moral equivalent is *also*
your app's preference pane, if of course you want to provide a GUI
start/stop button at all. If your app is a server app and you're pretty sure
your audience is experienced admins, you could probably just provide a
sample plist for managing your app with launchd.
