It's pretty much the same method, just a little different work on the intonations and the like.
There's only really 2 major differences in their styles when it comes to vocal stutters:
-Alex often has his vocal chops jump up and down more intensely, PPS keeps them closer together - the result is a bit "glitchier" per say sound. Also note the control on the duration of the samples, you can have them lead right into each other or you can put more separation in between each other and cut out smaller chunks, the latter resulting in a more spacey and disjointed sound, IE glitchier.
-Alex melodyne's his vocals, IE autotune - this allows him to play with the tonality all he likes of the notes to jam them into different melodies they wouldn't fit earlier, note at the "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh ah ah ah ah" in that song he melodynes the sound to pitch shift it in an upwards slide. You can do this with some effectiveness with most samplers but something like Melodyne will sound more natural.
