TestGorilla is built around a huge pre-made test library with basic anti-cheating checks layered on top. Third-party reviewers note it lacks screen recording, browser lockdown, and identity verification. TunnelQuiz is built around proctoring first - identity checks, screen monitoring, and live oversight come standard on every test.
Some TestGorilla reviewers report being surprised to find their subscription was a locked 12-month contract rather than the monthly plan they believed they'd signed up for. TunnelQuiz's plans are billed monthly, with a yearly option at 12% off - no locked contract either way.
Independent anti-cheating comparisons note that TestGorilla lacks identity verification, screen recording, and browser lockdown. TunnelQuiz verifies who's testing with a face photo check and email OTP, and records the screen throughout, on every proctored attempt.
TestGorilla's webcam check captures a snapshot roughly every 30 seconds. TunnelQuiz supports live monitoring, where you can watch a session in real time and use Live Follow to focus on one candidate as flags happen.

A test library is only as trustworthy as the person taking it. TunnelQuiz confirms identity with a face check and email OTP and records the full session, the exact gaps third-party reviewers flag in TestGorilla's anti-cheating toolkit.

TestGorilla's checks run in the background and get reviewed after the fact. TunnelQuiz's live monitoring and Live Follow let you watch flagged behavior unfold in real time, not just in a post-test report.

A recurring theme in TestGorilla reviews is confusion over contract length and credit costs. TunnelQuiz's plans are billed monthly with published credit allowances, and the Free plan never converts into a locked commitment.

Published credit allowances, cancel any time
Third-party anti-cheating software comparisons report that TestGorilla lacks identity verification, along with screen recording and browser lockdown, positioning it as a lightweight integrity tool rather than full proctoring. TunnelQuiz verifies identity with a face photo check and email OTP on every proctored test.
Independent reviews note that TestGorilla does not offer screen recording. Its anti-cheating layer is built around periodic webcam snapshots (roughly every 30 seconds), tab-switch detection, paste tracking, and full-screen enforcement. TunnelQuiz records the screen throughout the test.
TestGorilla has a free-forever plan (5 tests, unlimited invites, no credits required). Reported pricing for the Core plan varies by source - figures range from roughly $142 to $215 per month, generally billed annually with a stated ~400 credits included. The Plus plan, which adds ATS integrations, API access, AI video interviews, and white-labeling, is custom-priced (from around $400/month per some listings). Confirm current numbers on TestGorilla's pricing page before comparing.
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.
Yes, it's genuinely generous for a free tier: unlimited candidate invites, 5 essential skills tests, 5 custom questions per assessment, and AI resume scoring, with no credits required. TunnelQuiz's free credits (10, never expiring) run the same proctoring as a paid test, but are capped by credit count rather than offering unlimited invites.
TestGorilla's plans are generally billed annually, and some reviewers report signing up expecting a monthly commitment only to find they were locked into a 12-month contract with limited cancellation options. TunnelQuiz's plans are billed monthly.
TestGorilla, by a wide margin - it advertises 350 to 500+ validated skills tests across technical, cognitive, and personality domains. TunnelQuiz is built around creating and customizing your own MCQ and written-answer tests rather than a large pre-built library.
Yes, with 15+ ATS integrations, but only on the Plus plan, which is custom-priced. TunnelQuiz does not currently offer ATS integrations.
Published monthly plans. A free plan with 50 credits every month. No 12-month surprise.
