TunnelQuiz vs ExamOnline: Compare Features & Pricing

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 publishes its plan prices and monthly credit allowances upfront. Free includes 50 credits per month, Essential includes 150, and Pro includes 250, while Business pricing and credits are customized.

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 publishes its Essential and Pro prices, while Business pricing is customized. Monthly credit allowances are listed for each plan, so teams can compare options before signing up.

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 offers a Free Forever plan with 50 credits per month, Essential at ₹1,499/month or ₹1,319/month billed yearly with 150 credits per month, Pro at ₹3,999/month or ₹3,519/month billed yearly with 250 credits per month, and custom-priced Business plans. Unused Free plan credits expire at month-end, while paid-plan credits roll over while the subscription remains active. Prices exclude GST.

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 from the Essential plan, 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 supports LMS integrations including Blackboard, Canvas, and Moodle via LTI, according to its product information. TunnelQuiz lists webhooks for ATS and HR systems on its Business plan; confirm any specific LMS integration requirements with the TunnelQuiz team.

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.
