Answer

"Guess what?" Is usually used when you want to start a conversation on a new and interesting topic. Usually, this will be something that you think will surprise the listener or is something exciting that the listener will be happy to hear.

"You know what?" Is generally used during conversation when you want to change the direction or topic of discussion. It is usually said abruptly and followed by a statement with a tone of finality.

Answer

Its the same thing. Youll use it to inform someone on something. Generally speaking.
