The definition of "similarity" is - The quality or condition of being similar; resemblance.

So pretty much either 'similarity' or 'similarities' could be used interchangeably, with only a very subtle change in meaning. Both can be justified as grammatically correct.

If you are talking about a single similarity, then it's "similarity ends." If you are talking about several similarities, then it's "similarities end."

This is right:
"That's where our similarities end."
