Same AI proctoring rigor. No sales call, no 3-month rollout, no hidden pricing. Just sign up and run your first proctored test today.
Mettl sells a broad suite (psychometric, cognitive, coding, video interviews). If all you need is proctored MCQ and written-answer testing, TunnelQuiz is scoped to exactly that - nothing to configure around, nothing you don't use.
Mettl's pricing is sales-led - you have to talk to a rep to see a number. TunnelQuiz lists exact plans, credit allowances, and add-on costs on its pricing page, plus 10 free credits to start that never expire.
G2 buyer data puts Mettl's average implementation time at ~3 months. TunnelQuiz is self-serve: create an account, build a test, share a link, done the same day.
