What Are Differences Between Gazebo and Webots?

I was wondering whether someone has an experience with this Webots simulator and could elaborate on how does it differ from Gazebo.

What are advantages and disadvantages? How does the working with Webots differ from the working with Gazebo? Is there something one can't do and the other can? Which is faster?

I was unable to find any tutorial how to create a custom robot in Webots. Is it impossible or where are information about that? Where is any Webots community?
