ThinkExam publishes its base plans, billed annually, but its pricing page lists remote proctoring only on the Enterprise plan, which is a custom quote - and at least one reviewer lists "pricing structure lacks transparency upfront for evaluation" as a specific drawback. TunnelQuiz lists exact plans and credit rates on its pricing page, and every plan proctors.
ThinkExam's pricing page lists Free, Standard, Professional and Business plans, but remote proctoring appears only under Enterprise, where the price is custom and the button reads Enquire Now. A third-party review also flags pricing transparency as a weak point. TunnelQuiz's self-serve plans, credit allowances, and add-on costs are published on the site, and every plan includes proctoring.
Independent reviews note ThinkExam's interface "can feel dated and requires a learning curve." TunnelQuiz is self-serve: create an account, build a test, share a link, without a training ramp-up.
One review notes that ThinkExam's online assessments can only mark answers right or wrong, without support for partial credit. TunnelQuiz supports AI- or human-graded written answers alongside MCQs (AI grading on Pro), with negative marking and pass-mark control.

One independent review lists ThinkExam's lack of pricing transparency as a specific drawback, and its pricing page lists remote proctoring only on the custom-quoted Enterprise plan. TunnelQuiz publishes its Essential and Pro prices, while Business pricing is customized. Users can compare the available plans and credit allowances before signing up, no sales conversation required.

If ThinkExam's assessments only mark answers right or wrong, nuanced written responses lose information in scoring. TunnelQuiz's AI- or human-graded written answers can credit partial understanding, not just a binary pass/fail per question.

Partly. As of October 2026, ThinkExam's pricing page lists annual plans priced by test attempts or by users - a Free plan with 30 test attempts a month, Standard at 5,000 a month, Professional at 9,000 for 1,000 attempts and Business at 16,000 for 2,000 - plus a custom-quoted Enterprise plan, the only one that lists remote proctoring. One review still describes the pricing structure as lacking transparency for upfront evaluation.
TunnelQuiz offers a Free Forever plan with 50 credits per month, Essential at ₹1,499/month or ₹1,319/month billed yearly with 150 credits per month, Pro at ₹3,999/month or ₹3,519/month billed yearly with 250 credits per month, and custom-priced Business plans. Unused Free plan credits expire at month-end, while paid-plan credits roll over while the subscription remains active. Prices exclude GST.
Available independent reviews indicate that ThinkExam may use right-or-wrong scoring for some online assessments, but its current support for partial credit needs confirmation. TunnelQuiz supports AI or human grading of written answers.
Yes. ThinkExam offers AI-automated proctoring alongside live and recorded human monitoring, plus a dual-camera option using a candidate's phone to monitor their physical surroundings. TunnelQuiz's proctoring is AI-automated with a live monitoring dashboard for your own team from the Essential plan, but doesn't provide human proctors as a service.
It uses a second camera, typically the candidate's mobile phone, to monitor the physical environment around the candidate during a test, in addition to the primary screen and webcam view. TunnelQuiz does not offer a secondary-camera proctoring option.
Independent reviews are mixed - some reviewers describe it as user-friendly, while others note the UI can feel dated and requires a learning curve, along with occasional minor bugs. TunnelQuiz is built for self-serve setup without a training ramp-up.
Yes, ThinkExam operates a network of physical test centers worldwide, supporting both online remote proctoring and traditional paper-and-pencil testing, including OMR sheet digitization. TunnelQuiz is a fully online, browser-based testing platform without a physical test-center option.
TunnelQuiz is self-serve: create an account, build the test, share the link, no sales conversation required. ThinkExam has a free plan and a 7-day trial, but its remote proctoring is listed only on the Enterprise plan, which runs through an enquiry.
Start free with 50 credits per month. Paid plans start at ₹1,319/month billed yearly. Create an assessment, share a link, and manage testing online.
