I  know the charges of atoms derived by PRODRG and CGENFF are different, but I'm wondering if the total charge which is visible in top file, is supposed to be the same? What items are expected to be the same? or be in agreement?

The total charge is given in the qtot column of the .top file.  In theory, at a 
given protonation state, any protein should have the same net charge under any 
force field.
