Testlify is a broad, AI-native hiring suite with skills tests, conversational AI interviews, and 100+ ATS integrations, sold on a credit model with only a 7-day trial. TunnelQuiz is a proctored testing tool with free credits that never expire and a much higher credit allowance per plan.
Testlify's Starter plan is $198/month for 10 credits. TunnelQuiz's Essential plan is ₹1,499/month for 150 credits. The two platforms don't define "credit" identically - Testlify's likely covers a fuller candidate evaluation across multiple test types, but the gap in credit volume at the entry tier is worth checking against your actual test volume before you commit.
Testlify's free access is a 7-day trial. Once it ends, you're on a paid, credit-based plan. TunnelQuiz gives every account 10 free credits with no expiration date, so there's no deadline forcing a decision.
Testlify bundles skills assessments with conversational AI interviews, an AI Interview Question Generator, and deep ATS integration, built for teams running a full hiring pipeline. TunnelQuiz is scoped to building, proctoring, and grading tests, without paying for interview tooling you may not need.

If your need is proctored MCQ and written-answer testing not conversational AI interviews or ATS-embedded hiring workflows, TunnelQuiz gets you there without the added surface area of Testlify's broader suite.

No. Testlify offers a 7-day free trial with access to nearly all core features. After the trial, pricing moves to a credit-based paid model. TunnelQuiz gives every account 10 free credits that never expire, though it isn't a recurring free plan either.
Per G2's pricing data, Testlify's Starter plan is $198/month for 10 credits and 3 users, scaling up to $998/month for 100 credits and 10 users on the Business tier. Some third-party listings cite different starting figures, so confirm current pricing on Testlify's official page before comparing.
TunnelQuiz has three flat plans, Essential (₹1,499/month), Team (₹2,999/month), and Business (₹5,999/month), each including 150 credits a month. Every account also starts with 10 free credits that never expire.
No. Testlify's credit-based system does not carry over unused credits between billing periods.
Yes. Testlify supports conversational AI interviews across chat, audio, and video, along with an AI Interview Question Generator and AI-generated candidate insights. TunnelQuiz does not include AI interviewing and is focused on proctored MCQ and written-answer testing.
Testlify advertises 3,500+ scientifically validated tests spanning technical, cognitive, language, and personality domains. TunnelQuiz is built around creating and customizing your own tests rather than a large pre-built library.
Testlify integrates with 100+ ATS platforms, including Greenhouse, Workday, and Ashby. TunnelQuiz does not currently offer ATS integrations.
At the entry tier, TunnelQuiz's Essential plan (₹1,499/month) includes 150 credits, well above Testlify's Starter plan (10 credits at $198/month). The platforms' credit systems aren't identical in scope, so compare based on your actual monthly test volume rather than credit count alone.
