TOEFL or IELTS - Which is more likely to be substituted for the other?

Question

English is sadly my only language even though my parents and majority of my relatives are bilingual, and I completed my bachelor's and master's in a university where the medium of instruction is English and in a country where English is one of the official languages. Despite this, some departments/countries/universities insist on TOEFL/IELTS, which is expensive and a hassle. **Which of the two tests covers more countries/universities/depatments?** I mean, let's say we pick 10 random universities on Earth that require at least one for fluent English speakers, how many are we expecting will accept TOEFL? IELTS?

google "which colleges take TOEFL" and you should be able to find master lists for the U.S. Do the same for IELTS.

Also, remember that schools want MONEY first (they must pay their expensive professors!) If you have a high TOEFL score or a high IELTS score, my guess is you will be admitted, no problem. It only becomes a problem when you have low scores.
