Gives you the flexibility to choose paper or computer
PTE is only available on computer, whereas with IELTS you can choose whether you want to take your test on paper or computer in many locations across the world. The freedom to choose is important to test takers who are more comfortable using paper and pen to write their answers.
Fairness in testing

Fairness in marking
