TunnelQuiz is the self-serve alternative to Talview.

Talview is an enterprise talent measurement suite, proctoring, AI interviewing, and hiring assessments bundled together with custom, sales-led pricing. TunnelQuiz is a focused, self-serve proctored testing platform with published pricing and a free plan.

Three things that are different

A focused testing tool, not a full talent suite

Talview bundles AI proctoring (Alvy), an AI interviewer (Ivy), and an AI assistant (Livy) into one talent-measurement platform built for hiring at scale. TunnelQuiz is scoped specifically to proctored MCQ and written-answer testing, nothing to configure around if that's all you need.

Published pricing, not a custom quote

Talview uses custom subscription pricing across Business and Enterprise tiers, priced by assessment volume and feature set - you need a demo call to get a number. TunnelQuiz lists every plan and credit limit on its pricing page, including a free-forever tier.

Self-serve signup, not a sales-led rollout

Talview is built and sold for large enterprises with complex hiring needs; smaller teams report the custom pricing and feature set as overkill. TunnelQuiz is designed to be set up by one person in minutes, no account manager required.

Reason 03

Pay for testing, not a talent suite
