IELTS is the main alternative, especially popular for UK, Australia, and Canada. IELTS uses human interviewers for Speaking while TOEFL is computer-based. IELTS Academic is slightly more focused on British English.
PTE Academic is fully computer-scored, offering faster results (1-2 days). Good for those who prefer speaking to a computer rather than a human examiner. Popular for Australian immigration.
DET is shorter (1 hour), cheaper ($59), and can be taken at home anytime. Growing acceptance but not as widely recognized as TOEFL for top universities.
