COMMENTS
Apparently most of the numbers k such that k and k+1 have the same number of divisors (A005237) also have the same prime signature, i.e., they are also terms of A052213 which is a subsequence of A005237.
For example, up to 10^8 there are 9593611 terms in A005237, of them only 1573778 (about 16.4%) are not in A052213. This sequence in the complement of A052213 with respect to A005237.

EXAMPLE
26 is a term since 26 = 2 * 13 and 27 = 3^3 have different prime signatures, and d(26) = d(27) = 4.
