I'm the start, my brother's the end.
We're the places, where you'll be or have been.
We sound similar but yet aren't the same.
I bet that you know our names.

Are these places
womb & tomb?

I know this is answered already, but another pair that might work is
Here and there
I'm the start, my brother's the end.
To go anywhere, you have to start from "here" (where you are) to get "there" (where you want to go).
We're the places, where you'll be or have been.
"There" is a place you can be, and of course you've been "here"—you're there now!
We sound similar but yet aren't the same.
Spelled very similarly, and pronounced somewhat alike, but describe places that can never be the same.
I bet that you know our names.
Yep.

$\begingroup$ @Phylyp Thanks! The problem with coming across these from HNQ is that they're almost always answered already... No problem though, this community seems to appreciate a clever answer even if it's not the intended solution! $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 12, 2018 at 13:42

$\begingroup$ @GustavoGabriel Well, maybe not without some twisting and stretching ;) Fair point though—forgot that the title was a clue also $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 12, 2018 at 13:48

$\begingroup$ I like your answer. Maybe I will create another riddle using your answer :) $\endgroup$– D3f4u1tCommented Apr 12, 2018 at 14:16

It's
a bowl
I'm the start, my brother's the end.
We eat our food from a bowl. Then it ends in a different bowl - the toilet one (passing through yet another kind of bowels, but I digress)
We're the places, where you'll be or have been.
Sure, everyone eats.
We sound similar but yet aren't the same.
I'll bet!
