Hi,
If you copy the view from the folder "components/com_hikashop/views/product/tmpl/listing_img_title" to the template one with the same content, so you should have the same layout.
Be sure that the view copied is exactly the same, and check that you have the following code inside:
<!-- COMPARISON AREA -->
<?php
if(JRequest::getVar('hikashop_front_end_main',0) && JRequest::getVar('task')=='listing' && $this->params->get('show_compare')) { ?>
<br/><?php
if( $this->params->get('show_compare') == 1 ) {
$js = 'setToCompareList('.$this->row->product_id.',\''.$this->escape($this->row->product_name).'\',this); return false;';
echo $this->cart->displayButton(JText::_('ADD_TO_COMPARE_LIST'),'compare',$this->params,$link,$js,'',0,1,'hikashop_compare_button');
?>
<?php } else { ?>
<input type="checkbox" class="hikashop_compare_checkbox" id="hikashop_listing_chk_<?php echo $this->row->product_id;?>" onchange="setToCompareList(<?php echo $this->row->product_id;?>,'<?php echo $this->escape($this->row->product_name); ?>',this);"><label for="hikashop_listing_chk_<?php echo $this->row->product_id;?>"><?php echo JText::_('ADD_TO_COMPARE_LIST'); ?></label>
<?php }
} ?>
<!-- EO COMPARISON AREA -->
ps: please verify the comparison settings in HikaShop > Features > Compare.
