Assessment.com is built for psychometric-grade exams. TunnelQuiz is built for straightforward proctored testing.

Assessment.com (Assessment Systems Corp, platform "FastTest") positions itself for organizations that need "more than basic MCQ exam software" - adaptive testing via Item Response Theory, item banking, physical test centers, and certification-body program management, priced by custom quote. TunnelQuiz is scoped to fast, published-pricing MCQ and written-answer proctored testing.

Three things that are different

Published pricing vs. tailored, no-annual-minimum quotes

Assessment.com's own site describes pricing as tailored to test length, stakes, and volume, with no annual minimums, but no published rate card, and proctoring itself is offered across four tiers costing anywhere from a few dollars (AI) to $30–$100+ per exam (live human proctors), per their own proctoring guide. TunnelQuiz's plans and per-credit cost are fixed and published.

Instant results, not a 48-hour review window

Assessment.com's "Record and Review" proctoring model has candidates test anytime within a window, then has a trained human team review the recording within 48 hours. TunnelQuiz's proctoring flags risk signals and grades automatically the moment a test is submitted.

Self-serve setup, not a demo request

Assessment.com's entry point is "Request a demo from one of our product experts." TunnelQuiz is self-serve: create an account, build a test, share a link, no demo required.

Frequently asked questions

Is TunnelQuiz a good alternative to Assessment.com?

It depends on what you're testing for. Assessment.com (Assessment Systems Corp, platform FastTest) is built for high-stakes, psychometric-grade exams, certification, licensure, and civil service, with adaptive testing, item banking, and a physical test center network. TunnelQuiz is built for straightforward MCQ and written-answer proctored testing. Assessment.com's own materials describe their platform as being for organizations that need "more than basic MCQ exam software", which is closer to what TunnelQuiz is, without the added psychometric infrastructure.

Does Assessment.com publish its pricing?

No. Assessment.com states pricing is tailored to test length, stakes, and volume, with no annual minimums, but no rate card is published. Entry is through requesting a demo.

How much does TunnelQuiz cost?

TunnelQuiz has four plans: Free (₹0, 50 credits a month), Essential (₹1,499/month, 150 credits), Pro (₹3,999/month, 250 credits) and Business (quoted on volume), all exclusive of 18% GST. One credit is one candidate, one sitting, whatever proctoring the plan turns on; AI generation, grading and chat interviews are metered separately in AI credits.

How much does proctoring cost on Assessment.com?

Per Assessment Systems Corp's own proctoring guide, live proctoring with trained professionals can cost $30 to $100 or more per exam, while AI-based proctoring can cost as little as a few dollars. Actual rates depend on the tier and volume negotiated.

What is Assessment.com's "Record and Review" proctoring?

Candidates take the exam anytime within an available window; their webcam and screen are recorded, and a trained proctor team reviews the recording within 48 hours. TunnelQuiz's proctoring flags risk signals and grades automatically the moment the test is submitted, without a review-window delay.

Does Assessment.com offer physical, in-person testing?

Yes, Assessment.com partners with a network of hundreds of test center locations (university computer labs, language schools, workforce training centers) for in-person proctored testing, alongside its remote proctoring options. TunnelQuiz is fully online and does not offer physical test center access.

What is adaptive testing, and does TunnelQuiz offer it?

Adaptive testing uses Item Response Theory (IRT) to personalize a test's difficulty for each candidate as they answer, making results more precise for high-stakes exams. Assessment.com offers this; TunnelQuiz does not. It's built around standard, fixed-question MCQ and written-answer tests.

Which platform is simpler to set up for a single test?

TunnelQuiz is self-serve: create an account, build the test, share the link, no demo required. Assessment.com's entry point is requesting a demo from their product team, consistent with its positioning for larger, higher-stakes assessment programs.

Straightforward proctored testing, published pricing, no demo required.
