While ETFs are prone to tracking errors, index funds are perfectly aligned with their underlying index.

ETFs can be purchased continuously throughout the trading day while index funds can only be bought or sold at the end of the day.

The market price of ETFs always matches the underlying basket of securities while there can be a discrepancy in pricing index funds.

ETFs do not have management fees since they are exchange traded while index funds do incur such fees.
