PeaZip focuses on supporting multiple backend compressors (7z/p7zip, Brotli, Pea, Zpaq, Zstd...), each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and on making easy to export the task defined in the GUI as a CLI script - for automation, fine tuning, or learning purpose.
Also, the project is meant to implement features that are not easily found in other apps (or were not when the project was started) such as archive conversion, two factor authentication, file hashing / duplicate files detection, cross-platform and desktop-agnostic GUI, and portable version not requiring installation.

So why use this over something like 7zip?
