TunnelQuiz's plans are listed. ExamOnline's pricing depends on your exam details first.

ExamOnline's own pricing page confirms cost depends on test-taker count, exam duration, and which proctoring type (AI, Live, or Hybrid) you choose, with custom quotes built around those specifics. TunnelQuiz's plans and per-credit cost are published upfront, the same for everyone.

Three things that are different

One published price, not a quote built around your exam

ExamOnline's pricing page states cost varies by test-taker count, exam duration, proctoring type, and feature selection, with custom quotes as the standard path. TunnelQuiz's plans, ₹1,499 to ₹3,999 a month, with Business quoted on volume, are fixed and the same for every account.

Self-serve from day one

ExamOnline is generally positioned around tailored plans for academia, certification bodies, and enterprises. TunnelQuiz is self-serve: create an account, build a test, share a link, no exam details to submit first.

50 free credits a month that already include real proctoring

ExamOnline's pricing model doesn't include a stated free tier. TunnelQuiz's free plan gives every account 50 credits a month, running the same identity verification and monitoring as a paid test.

Frequently asked questions

Does ExamOnline publish its pricing?

No. ExamOnline's own pricing page states cost depends on the number of test-takers, exam duration, and the type of proctoring selected (AI, Live, or Hybrid), with custom quotes as the standard path. A Pay-As-You-Go option is mentioned as an alternative, but no rates are published for either model.

How much does TunnelQuiz cost?

TunnelQuiz has four plans: Free (₹0, 50 credits a month), Essential (₹1,499/month, 150 credits), Pro (₹3,999/month, 250 credits) and Business (quoted on volume), all exclusive of 18% GST. One credit is one candidate, one sitting, whatever proctoring the plan turns on; AI generation, grading and chat interviews are metered separately in AI credits.

What is ExamOnline's audio validation feature?

It compares a candidate's voice recorded before the exam to their audio during the exam to confirm responses aren't pre-recorded or coming from someone else assisting off-camera. TunnelQuiz does not offer audio validation and focuses on visual and activity-based proctoring signals.

Does ExamOnline offer live human proctors?

Yes, ExamOnline offers AI, Live, or Hybrid proctoring, letting you choose per exam. TunnelQuiz's proctoring is AI-automated with a live monitoring dashboard for your own team, but doesn't provide human proctors as a service.

Does ExamOnline support VR-based assessments?

Yes, VR Assessments are listed among ExamOnline's supported assessment domains, alongside entrance exams, certifications, semester exams, and hiring assessments. TunnelQuiz is focused on MCQ and written-answer proctored testing and does not offer VR assessment formats.

Does ExamOnline generate certificates and scorecards?

Yes, as part of its end-to-end examination workflow, from application management through result processing to scorecard and certificate generation. TunnelQuiz is scoped to test building, proctoring, and grading, without certificate generation.

Which platform integrates with an LMS?

ExamOnline integrates with Blackboard, Canvas, and Moodle via LTI, plus API access for LMS/HRMS integration. TunnelQuiz does not currently offer LMS integrations.

Which platform is easier to set up for a single test?

TunnelQuiz is self-serve: create an account, build the test, share the link, no exam details to submit for a quote. ExamOnline's pricing is built around your specific exam parameters, based on its own pricing page.

One published price. No exam details required to see it.
