Proctorio only proctors - you still need a separate platform to build the test. TunnelQuiz builds, proctors, and grades in one place, with no browser extension to install.
Proctorio is proctoring-only - it plugs into an LMS or a separate quiz tool (Canvas, Blackboard, Questionmark, Top Hat) that you still have to set up and pay for. TunnelQuiz includes test building, proctoring, and grading together.
Proctorio runs as a Chrome browser extension that candidates must download before they can start. TunnelQuiz tests open with a link in any browser - nothing to install.
Proctorio pricing is available on request, typically billed per exam or per user. TunnelQuiz lists exact plans and credit limits on its pricing page, including a free-forever tier.
Every row below is a capability one or both platforms publish. A dash means the platform does not offer it.

An extension download is one more thing that can go wrong before a test even starts - wrong browser, blocked permissions, IT restrictions. TunnelQuiz tests open with a link, full stop.

Proctorio doesn't build tests - it proctors whatever test you built elsewhere. TunnelQuiz replaces that two-tool stack with one: build the test, proctor it, grade it, all in the same place.
Tools in the stack
a quiz tool to build it, Proctorio to watch it
build it, proctor it and grade it in one place
Proctorio's per-exam or per-user pricing is quote-based, which makes budgeting hard until you talk to sales. TunnelQuiz's plans are flat and published, so you know exactly what a month costs before you sign up.

No, TunnelQuiz tests run in any standard browser from a shared link. Proctorio requires candidates to install a Chrome browser extension before starting.
No, Proctorio is a proctoring layer that plugs into a separate LMS or quiz platform such as Canvas, Blackboard, Questionmark, or Top Hat - you build the test elsewhere and add Proctorio on top. TunnelQuiz includes its own test builder, so there's no second platform to set up.
No, Proctorio pricing is available on request and is typically billed per exam or per user, based on third-party listings.
Yes, the free-forever plan includes 25 credits per month, up to 3 active tests, and 10 AI generations, with no credit card required.
TunnelQuiz automatically flags high-risk sessions, tab switches, second screens, copy-paste, developer tools, and headphone use the moment they happen. Proctorio records video, audio, and behavior data during the exam, which an instructor or reviewer can then go through to spot violations.
Proctorio is built to integrate with LMS platforms including Canvas, Blackboard, Questionmark, and Top Hat. TunnelQuiz is a standalone platform with its own test builder and candidate management, and is not built around LMS integration.
TunnelQuiz: create an account, build the test, share the link - no separate quiz platform or extension installation required. Proctorio requires a connected quiz/LMS platform for the test itself, plus the browser extension on the candidate's side.
No extension to install. No second platform to buy. No sales call to see a price.
