Talview sells to large hiring and certification programs. It has an AI proctor called Alvy, an AI interviewer called Ivy, photo ID with face and voice matching, live human proctors, and a secure browser candidates install. Pricing is unit-based and quoted after you fill in a form, and its own FAQ puts the typical minimum at 150 to 200 candidates. TunnelQuiz is smaller and self-serve: sign up, build a test and send a link the same day, on published plans priced in rupees, starting with a free one. If you need verified identity or human proctors, Talview does things TunnelQuiz does not. If you need proctored screening tests without a procurement cycle, read on.
Talview bundles proctoring, an AI interviewer, identity assurance, a question bank and integrations with dozens of ATS and LMS platforms. For a university or a certification body, that breadth is the point. TunnelQuiz does one job: proctored MCQ and written tests for screening, with AI-graded coding questions and AI chat interviews on Pro. If you also need video interviews or an ATS connection, Talview covers ground TunnelQuiz does not.
Talview's pricing page explains that each feature carries its own unit price, that you can buy features singly or bundled, and that a Solutions Expert will be in touch with numbers. No figures are listed. TunnelQuiz prints its self-serve plans: Free at ₹0, Essential at ₹1,319 and Pro at ₹3,519 a month, both billed yearly, with one credit per candidate sitting and extra credits at up to ₹15.
Talview's FAQ says a typical commitment starts at about 150 to 200 candidates, and that a pilot with more than 10 candidates may be charged. TunnelQuiz has no minimum. Sign up, write or import your questions, and share a link. A recruiter who tests 30 people a month fits inside the Free plan's 50 credits.

A 200-candidate drive on TunnelQuiz costs 200 credits, and the pricing page tells you what those cost. Talview's price depends on which features you combine and how many candidates you commit to, and you hear it from a Solutions Expert.
How you get a price
Feature units and candidate volume decide it
Every self-serve plan and its credits listed
Every plan captures the candidate's whole screen once a minute and on each return to the tab, logs tab switches with the time away, and blocks copy and paste, all inside Chrome or Edge. Nobody downloads a secure browser first.
What the candidate installs
A one-time install on Windows or macOS, for locked-down mode
Whole-screen captures and tab logs inside Chrome or Edge
TunnelQuiz does not check photo ID, match faces or supply human proctors. If a test leads to a certification or a regulated credential, Talview's identity layer is worth paying for. For a first-round screen, a one-time code, a check-in photo (Essential and up) and screen evidence are often enough.
Identity check before a test
With voice matching and liveness, re-checked mid-session
By email on any plan; SMS and a check-in photo from Essential
No. As of October 2026, Talview's pricing page describes unit-based pricing, where each feature has its own unit and you can buy features individually or in bundles. Prices come from a Solutions Expert after you fill in a form. Its FAQ says a typical starting commitment is about 150 to 200 candidates, and that pilots with more than 10 candidates may be charged.
Yes. The Free plan gives you one seat, up to 10 papers and 50 credits a month, which lapse at month end. As of October 2026, Essential is ₹1,319 a month billed yearly for 150 credits and 5 seats, and Pro is ₹3,519 a month billed yearly for 250 credits and 20 seats. Monthly billing is also available. Prices are in rupees, plus 18% GST.
They are Talview's names for its AI proctor, AI interviewer and AI assistant. Alvy runs automated proctoring with identity checks, Ivy runs screening interviews, and Livy is listed as an AI assistant. Talview also sells Verity, which it describes as continuous identity assurance, including deepfake detection.
Partly. You can ask candidates for an email one-time code on any plan, or an SMS code from Essential if SMS is set up. Essential and up also take a check-in photo before the test. TunnelQuiz does not compare that photo to an ID document or match faces, so on its own it will not catch a stand-in. Talview offers photo ID matching, face and voice matching, and liveness checks.
Not for TunnelQuiz. Proctored tests run in Chrome, Edge or another Chromium-based browser; iOS is not supported. Talview's locked-down mode uses the Talview Secure Browser, which candidates download and install once on Windows or macOS.
No. Talview lists integrations with ATS platforms such as Workday, SuccessFactors, Greenhouse and iCIMS, and LMSs such as Moodle, Canvas and D2L. TunnelQuiz offers webhooks on the Business plan, CSV exports from Essential, and on Pro an MCP connector for Claude and ChatGPT plus PDF and bulk exports.
If you run a few dozen or a few hundred screening tests a month, TunnelQuiz is quicker to start and you can see the cost up front: Essential is ₹1,319 a month billed yearly for 150 credits. Talview is built for large programs, with a minimum commitment of around 150 to 200 candidates and a price you learn from its sales team.
