ThinkExam is a large assessment business. It runs online exams, AI and live human proctoring, a network of test centers, paper-based testing and a library of ready-made tests. Its base plans are on its pricing page, in rupees and billed annually, but remote proctoring is listed only on the Enterprise plan, which is quoted. TunnelQuiz does far less. It's an online test platform with browser proctoring on every plan, and the price of each proctored sitting is published.
ThinkExam's pricing page lists Free, Standard, Professional and Business plans, and ticks Remote Proctoring only under Enterprise, where the price reads "Custom" and the button says Enquire Now. On TunnelQuiz every self-serve plan proctors and has a published price: Essential is ₹1,319 a month billed yearly for 150 proctored sittings.
Every TunnelQuiz test can capture the candidate's whole screen every minute, log tab switches and focus loss, enforce fullscreen and block copy and paste. That holds on the Free plan too. Webcam snapshots and AI-extension detection start on Essential, and multiple-face detection is on Pro.
ThinkExam can run your exam in a test center, on paper with OMR sheets, or online with human proctors watching. TunnelQuiz can't do any of that. What it does is let one person build a proctored online test and send the link the same day.

For high-stakes exams that need ID checks, live proctors, a second camera or a seat in a test center, ThinkExam offers all of it and TunnelQuiz offers none of it. For hiring screens and internal tests run online, TunnelQuiz is quicker to start, and what it costs is on the pricing page.

Partly. As of October 2026, ThinkExam's pricing page lists annual plans in rupees: a Free plan with 30 test attempts a month, Professional at ₹9,000 a month for 1,000 attempts, and Business from ₹16,000 a month for 2,000 attempts, with user-based versions of each. Remote proctoring is ticked only on the Enterprise plan, which is priced on enquiry.
As of October 2026: Free (₹0, 50 credits a month), Essential (₹1,319/month, 150 credits), Pro (₹3,519/month, 250 credits) and Business (quoted). Essential and Pro are shown at the yearly rate, 12% off monthly billing, which is also available. Prices are in rupees plus 18% GST. One credit is one candidate sitting, whatever proctoring is on, and unproctored tests are free on paid plans.
Yes. ThinkExam offers AI proctoring, live human proctors and a hybrid of the two, and says it can supply the proctors itself. TunnelQuiz doesn't provide proctors. It flags violations automatically, scores each attempt for risk, can end an attempt after repeated violations from Essential, and lets your own team watch live from the Essential plan.
It adds the candidate's phone as a second camera that shows the test screen and the room around the candidate, alongside the webcam. ThinkExam also offers a 360-degree room scan. TunnelQuiz has no second-camera option.
No. TunnelQuiz can require an email one-time code on any plan and an SMS code from Essential, and Essential and up take a check-in photo before the test, but nothing matches that photo to an ID or to the person sitting the test. ThinkExam does ID validation and face matching, so it's the stronger choice where impersonation is the main risk.
Yes. ThinkExam runs computer-based tests at what it says are more than 2,500 test centers, and offers paper-based testing with OMR sheet processing. TunnelQuiz is online only.
TunnelQuiz. Sign up, build the test and share the link; proctoring is available on the Free plan. On ThinkExam, the free and base plans let you start right away, but remote proctoring needs an Enterprise enquiry.
