ExamOnline is a full exam operation: registration portals, AI and live human proctoring, video and screen recording, test centers, certificates and LMS hookups, sold to universities, certification bodies and large employers. Its pricing page says the cost depends on how many people you test, how long the exam runs, which proctoring you pick (AI, Live or Hybrid) and the features you need, and it asks you to request a quote. TunnelQuiz is smaller and simpler. Its plans and credit costs are on the pricing page, and you can run a proctored test the day you sign up.
ExamOnline lists no free plan or trial. TunnelQuiz's Free plan gives every account 50 credits a month, and those tests are proctored: the candidate shares their whole screen, which is captured every minute, and tab switches, fullscreen exits, copy-paste attempts and a second display are all logged. Webcam snapshots start on Essential.
ExamOnline prices each deal on volume, exam duration, proctoring type, features and contract term, and offers custom plans or pay-as-you-go without listing a rate for either. TunnelQuiz lists every plan: Essential at ₹1,319 and Pro at ₹3,519 a month, both billed yearly, with Business quoted for larger teams.
Every path on ExamOnline's site leads to a demo, a consultation or a sales contact, which suits a university planning a semester of exams. TunnelQuiz is built for the team that needs a test out this week: create an account, write or import the questions, share the link.

The Free plan is not a demo account. Tests on it capture the candidate's whole screen every minute and log tab switches, fullscreen exits, copy-paste attempts and second displays, so you can judge the evidence before you pay for webcam snapshots on Essential.
Free credits, every month
A demo or consultation first
Screen capture and browser checks on every one
ExamOnline is set up for programs: registration portals, evaluators, test centers. If you only need to send a proctored test to a list of candidates, TunnelQuiz gets that done in one sitting, with nothing for candidates to install.

No. As of October 2026, ExamOnline's pricing page says cost depends on the number of test-takers, exam duration, the proctoring type (AI, Live or Hybrid) and the features you need, and invites you to request a custom quote. It also mentions a pay-as-you-go option for occasional use, without rates.
As of October 2026: Free (₹0, 50 credits a month, 1 seat), Essential (₹1,319 a month, 150 credits, 5 seats), Pro (₹3,519 a month, 250 credits, 20 seats, 10 AI credits) and Business (quoted). Essential and Pro prices are billed yearly at 12% off the monthly rate, and monthly billing is also available. Prices are in rupees plus 18% GST. One credit is one candidate sitting, whatever proctoring is on; unproctored tests are free on paid plans, and paid credits roll over while you stay subscribed.
Yes. ExamOnline offers AI-only, live and hybrid proctoring, and its proctors can review clips the AI has flagged. TunnelQuiz does not supply proctors. It flags events automatically, and from the Essential plan your own team can watch candidates on a live monitoring screen.
ExamOnline. It describes facial recognition with optional ID checks. TunnelQuiz can require an email one-time code on any plan, and an SMS code and a check-in photo from Essential, but it does not match faces or check photo ID. If impersonation is your main risk, weigh that.
Yes. ExamOnline has a VR assessment offering for simulated, job-specific scenarios, alongside online exams, certification exams, hiring assessments and test centers. TunnelQuiz has nothing comparable; it runs browser-based tests with multiple-choice, written and, on Pro, AI-graded coding questions.
Yes. Its certification solution issues verifiable digital certificates and badges when a candidate passes, and its exam workflow covers registration, admit cards and results. TunnelQuiz does not issue certificates.
ExamOnline lists LTI and API integration, SSO, webhooks and ATS connections. TunnelQuiz has no LMS or ATS integration and no public API; it offers webhooks on Business and a connector for Claude and ChatGPT on Pro.
