SpeedExam's $37/month Professional plan covers 500 exams, 15,000 questions, and 10 instructor accounts, but only 5 free AI proctoring credits. Additional proctor credits are billed separately, with rates not listed publicly. TunnelQuiz's plans include 150 credits a month for proctored testing, with the rate per credit published upfront.
SpeedExam's base plan bundles just 5 free proctor credits - everything beyond that is billed separately, and SpeedExam's own pricing page doesn't list a rate for additional credits ("buy any number of proctor credits when needed"). TunnelQuiz's ₹10-per-credit rate is published on the pricing page, so you know the real cost of a proctored test before you sign up.
SpeedExam separates its subscription (exam creation, question banks, instructor accounts) from its proctoring cost (metered credits). TunnelQuiz's monthly credit allowance covers proctored testing directly, with 150 credits included, no separate proctoring purchase to budget for from month one.
SpeedExam offers a free trial and a free version with limited functionality. TunnelQuiz's free plan gives every account 50 credits a month, enough to run real proctored tests, not a stripped preview.

SpeedExam's subscription price and its proctoring cost are two different things. The plan gets you exam creation and 5 free proctor credits, and anything beyond that is billed at a rate that isn't listed publicly. TunnelQuiz's credit price is published, so a proctored test's real cost is known before you build it.
What the subscription covers
Proctoring beyond five credits is billed at an unpublished rate
The credit allowance is the proctoring allowance
TunnelQuiz's 50 free credits a month run the same identity checks and monitoring as a paid test, not a limited free-version preview.
Free credits, every month
A free version with limited functionality
Identity checks and monitoring on every one of them
TunnelQuiz's flat monthly plans (₹1,499 to ₹3,999 a month, with Business quoted on volume) include everything up to that month's credit allowance. There's no second, separately-priced purchase to factor in for proctoring specifically.
What goes on the budget line
The subscription, then proctoring on top
₹1,499 to ₹3,999 a month, proctoring inside it
Per Capterra, SpeedExam's Professional plan starts at $37/month, including 500 exams per month, 10 instructor accounts, 15,000 questions, AI-based proctoring, and 5 free proctor credits. An Ultimate plan is listed at $180/year. Additional proctor credits beyond the included 5 are billed separately, at a rate that SpeedExam's own pricing page doesn't list publicly.
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.
Only partially. SpeedExam's Professional plan includes 5 free proctor credits; SpeedExam's pricing page states you can "buy any number of proctor credits when needed" but doesn't publish the rate for those additional credits. TunnelQuiz's monthly credit allowance is used directly for proctored testing at a published per-credit rate.
Yes, SpeedExam markets itself as offering AI proctoring, live human proctors, or a blend of both, letting you choose per exam. TunnelQuiz's proctoring is AI-automated, with a live monitoring dashboard for your own team to watch sessions in real time, but it does not provide human proctors as a service.
Yes, confirmed by GetApp's product listing. TunnelQuiz does not currently offer API access.
Yes, SpeedExam includes PayPal integration specifically for institutions that want to sell test packages online. TunnelQuiz does not offer this; it's scoped to building, proctoring, and grading tests rather than monetizing them directly.
It's a self-practice tool that lets learners build their own customized practice tests, choosing test or tutor mode and setting question count and difficulty. TunnelQuiz doesn't offer a self-practice mode; its test builder is designed for administrators creating proctored assessments.
It depends on volume, since SpeedExam's proctoring cost beyond the first 5 credits isn't published. TunnelQuiz's plans include 150 credits a month at a fixed, published rate, so the cost of proctored testing is fully knowable in advance - SpeedExam's total cost at real volume requires contacting them for the additional-credit rate.
Plans from ₹1,499/month with 150 credits included. A free plan with 50 credits every month. No separate proctoring bill to estimate.
