TOEFL vs IELTS which is easier if listening is my weak spot?

Is TOEFL vs IELTS which is easier basically impossible to answer without trying both, or did one feel clearly better for you?

My listening is probably my weakest section, and I am stuck choosing between the two. I have read that TOEFL is more academic and computer-based, while IELTS feels more direct, but I cannot tell which one is actually easier in real life.

If you took both, which test felt less draining overall? Especially for listening and speaking. I do okay in reading, but I do not want to pick the wrong exam and regret it later.

Would really help to hear from people who chose one after comparing the format.
