Both add a further item on top of what was already said, but に加えて is the neutral written-register default for tacking on one more established fact or condition without any implication that it's surprising (基本給与に加えて、交通費も支給する — a plain list), while だけでなく carries a "not merely X — Y too" emphasis and is comfortable in casual speech (安いだけでなく味もいいんだよ); だけでなく also attaches straight to a clause or adjective (安いだけでなく), while に加えて needs a noun and only reaches a clause via こと (近いことに加えて).
