The most obvious difference is that ptcs are automatically resettable whereas traditional fuses need to be replaced after they they are tripped.

A resettable fuse or polymeric positive temperature coefficient device pptc is a passive electronic component used to protect against overcurrent faults in electronic circuits the device is also known as a multifuse or polyfuse or polyswitch they are similar in function to ptc thermistors in certain situations but operate on mechanical changes instead of charge carrier effects in semiconductors.
Whereas a fuse will completely stop the flow of current which may be desired in critical applications after most similar overcurrent event ptcs continue to enable the equiment to function except in.

The ceramic ptc thermistor has similar behavior but the resistance variation is not as fast.
