Honorlock proctors exams that live somewhere else, usually in your LMS or in another exam platform it connects to. It pairs AI monitoring with live proctors who pop in when something is flagged, and adds ID verification, room scans, phone and voice detection, a second camera and a browser lockdown. Pricing is quoted per institution or program. TunnelQuiz builds, proctors and grades the test in one place, publishes its prices and needs nothing installed. It has no human proctors and no ID checks, so it suits screening and internal tests better than high-stakes exams.
Honorlock's pricing page says "Your program is unique. Your pricing should be too." and asks you to request a quote. In fairness, that quote includes its AI proctoring, Live Pop-In and identity checks with no extra fees. TunnelQuiz lists every self-serve plan, credit allowance and top-up price, and its Free plan gives you 50 credits a month.
Honorlock integrates with Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Brightspace and other LMSs, and with other exam platforms by API, and the exam itself lives there. TunnelQuiz includes the test builder, the proctoring and the grading, so a team without an LMS can run a proctored test from a link.
Honorlock's help center walks test-takers through installing the Honorlock extension before an exam. TunnelQuiz has nothing to install. Candidates open a link in Chrome or Edge, share their screen and start.

Honorlock has human proctors, ID checks and phone detection, and for a licensure exam those matter. TunnelQuiz is built for hiring screens, internal assessments and course tests, where screen captures, webcam snapshots (from Essential) and automatic flags are enough and a link is easier than an extension.
