TunnelQuiz: the AutoProctor alternative with all-inclusive proctoring pricing.
Both are AI proctoring platforms with their own quizzing tool and no browser extension required. The real difference is cost: AutoProctor charges extra credits for each anti-cheating feature you turn on. TunnelQuiz includes them all in one flat credit per proctored test.
AutoProctor's Enhanced Proctoring add-ons, ID card verification, impersonation detection, auxiliary device tracking, session recording - each costs extra credits on top of the base attempt, up to 28 credits (~$2.80) for a fully-loaded test. TunnelQuiz's standard 1-credit proctored test already includes face verification, email OTP, tab-switch detection, copy-paste blocking, and webcam/screen monitoring - the checks that actually catch cheating come standard, not as add-ons.
02
Free credits that don't run out on you
Both platforms start you with 10 free credits. TunnelQuiz's never expire, so you can keep testing at your own pace before you commit to a plan.
03
Two add-ons, not a paywall on core security
TunnelQuiz's Team and Business plans do unlock two extras for extra credits - live monitoring (+4 credits) and AI grading (+1 credit), but core proctoring (identity checks, tab/screen monitoring, recording) is never behind that wall. On AutoProctor, identity verification and session recording themselves are the paid add-ons.

On AutoProctor, ID verification, impersonation detection, and session recording each add separate credits to every single attempt. On TunnelQuiz, those checks are already in the base 1-credit proctored test - you're only billed extra for live monitoring and AI grading, not for basic identity and integrity checks.

Reason 03
Fewer variables in your monthly bill
Because AutoProctor bills per attempt and per security feature, your monthly cost moves with both exam volume and which checks are switched on. TunnelQuiz's flat plans (Essential, Team, Business) give you a fixed monthly credit allowance, with only two optional add-ons, live monitoring and AI grading, sitting outside the base price.

Frequently asked questions
Is TunnelQuiz a good AutoProctor alternative?
Yes. Both are AI-powered online proctoring platforms with their own built-in quizzing tool and no browser extension required for candidates. The main difference is what's included in the base credit: AutoProctor charges extra for ID verification, impersonation detection, and session recording, while TunnelQuiz includes those checks in its standard 1-credit proctored test and only charges extra for live monitoring and AI grading.
How much does AutoProctor cost?
AutoProctor's base rate is $0.10 per test attempt (1 credit), with Standard, Premium, and Elite subscription tiers starting at $15/month. Enhanced Proctoring features, ID card verification, impersonation detection, auxiliary device tracking, and session recording, each add 4 credits per attempt, and continuous video recording adds 15 credits per attempt, so a fully-loaded attempt can cost up to 28 credits.
How much does TunnelQuiz cost?
TunnelQuiz has three flat plans, Essential (₹1,499/month), Team (₹2,999/month), and Business (₹5,999/month), each including 150 credits a month (₹10/credit, plus 18% GST). A standard proctored attempt is 1 credit with identity verification, tab/screen monitoring, and recording included; live monitoring and AI grading unlock on higher tiers and cost 4 and 1 extra credits per use. Every account also starts with 10 free credits that never expire.
Does AutoProctor require candidates to install anything?
No, AutoProctor is browser-based and works across Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox on desktop and mobile without an extension. TunnelQuiz also requires no installation - tests open from a shared link in any browser.
Does AutoProctor have a free plan?
AutoProctor offers 10 free credits as a one-time trial. TunnelQuiz also starts every account with 10 free credits, but they don't expire, so there's no trial clock to beat.
Can I detect ChatGPT or AI-assisted cheating with these platforms?
AutoProctor offers an Auxiliary Device feature where candidates pair a phone to their laptop for 360-degree coverage, aimed at detecting AI tool use, as a paid Enhanced Proctoring add-on. TunnelQuiz detects AI-assistance risk through developer-tools alerts, tab-switch monitoring, and copy-paste blocking, included in its standard proctoring.
Which platform integrates with Google Forms?
AutoProctor integrates directly with Google Forms and Microsoft Forms, letting you add proctoring to an existing form-based quiz. TunnelQuiz uses its own built-in test builder rather than layering onto Google Forms.
Does TunnelQuiz support written or subjective answers, not just MCQs?
Yes, graded by AI or a human reviewer, alongside auto-graded multiple-choice questions. AutoProctor supports a document question type on Premium plans and above, though AI-based grading of written answers isn't publicly confirmed.
Which platform is cheaper for high-security exams?
It depends on volume and which features you need. For a test that needs identity verification, impersonation detection, and recording, AutoProctor's per-attempt cost rises with each feature enabled (up to ~28 credits/attempt), since those are all separate add-ons. TunnelQuiz includes that same set of checks in its base 1-credit attempt, so identity and integrity checks don't add to the bill - only live monitoring and AI grading are optional extras.
All your proctoring features, one flat price per test.
No credit stacking. No one-time trial. Just published, predictable pricing.
