TunnelQuiz is the all-in-one alternative to Honorlock.

Honorlock proctors that you build somewhere else. TunnelQuiz builds, proctors, and grades in one place, with published pricing and free credits, not a vendor quote.

Three things that are different

Published pricing, no vendor quote required

Honorlock pricing is available only by contacting the vendor, across tiers like Automation Only and Automation with Live Proctor Pop-in. TunnelQuiz lists exact plans, credit allowances, and add-on costs on its pricing page, plus 10 free credits to start that never expire.

One platform, not a proctoring add-on

Honorlock is a proctoring layer that plugs into your existing LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace D2L, Moodle) - you still build and host the test elsewhere. TunnelQuiz includes test building, proctoring, and grading together.

Zero installs, not just a "lightweight" one

Honorlock runs as a browser extension, lighter than some competitors, but still something candidates add before they start. TunnelQuiz tests open from a link in any browser, nothing to add.

Why teams choose TunnelQuiz

Why teams choose TunnelQuiz over Honorlock

Reason 01

Stop stitching two tools together

Honorlock secures a test built somewhere else. TunnelQuiz is the test, build it, proctor it, and grade it without exporting into a separate LMS.

Tools in the stack

Honorlock
Two

a test built elsewhere, Honorlock to secure it

TunnelQuiz
One

build it, proctor it and grade it in one place

Reason 02

Know the cost before you talk to anyone

Honorlock's tiers aren't priced publicly, so budgeting means a vendor call first. TunnelQuiz publishes every plan, ₹1,499 to ₹5,999 a month, plus 10 free credits to start, so you can compare costs on your own time.

Reason 03

Skip the install, every time

A browser extension is one more permission prompt, one more IT policy to clear, one more thing that can fail before a candidate even starts. TunnelQuiz tests run from a plain link.

Frequently asked questions

Do candidates need to install anything to take a TunnelQuiz test?

No, TunnelQuiz tests run in any standard browser from a shared link. Honorlock uses a lightweight browser extension that candidates add before starting.

Can I build a test directly inside Honorlock?

Honorlock is a proctoring layer that integrates into an existing LMS such as Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace D2L, or Moodle - the test itself is built and hosted there. TunnelQuiz includes its own test builder, so there's no separate LMS required.

Does Honorlock publish its pricing?

No. Honorlock offers tiered service levels (Automation Only, Automation with Live Proctor Pop-in, and Proctor Record & Review), but rates are only available by contacting the vendor.

Is TunnelQuiz free to use?

Every account starts with 10 free credits that never expire, no card required. Paid plans start at ₹1,499/month (Essential) for 150 credits a month. Honorlock offers a free trial on request but no public free tier.

Does Honorlock use live human proctors?

Yes. Honorlock's AI monitors sessions in the background and escalates to a live proctor when it detects potential misconduct, such as a secondary device or voice assistant use. TunnelQuiz proctoring is fully automated, high-risk sessions are flagged instantly without needing a live proctor to intervene.

Which platform detects a phone or secondary device?

Honorlock specifically advertises secondary-device and voice-assistant detection. TunnelQuiz detects second-screen (monitor) use, tab switches, copy-paste, developer tools, and headphone use, but does not currently advertise phone-specific detection.

Which platform integrates with an LMS like Canvas or Moodle?

Honorlock is built to integrate directly with Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace D2L, and Moodle. TunnelQuiz is a standalone platform with its own test builder and candidate management, and isn't built around LMS integration.

Which is simpler to set up for a single test?

TunnelQuiz: create an account, build the test, share the link. Honorlock requires an existing LMS-hosted test plus the Honorlock browser extension layered on top.

Build it, proctor it, grade it - all in one place.

No LMS required. No browser extension. No vendor called to see a price.
