Before you choose
Compare plans and trial access
Check for a free plan, a free trial or paid pricing before choosing a tool. Paid pricing may start at a published monthly rate or require a pricing request.
A free plan can help with an initial setup. A trial can provide time to review the exam workflow before payment.
Check your required platforms
Review whether each tool runs on web, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android or through an API. Platform coverage matters when learners, applicants or staff use different devices.
Confirm that the platform fits the device and system requirements for your assessment process.
Review question tools
Compare question-bank support and the question types available. These options shape how you build practice work, assessments and exams.
Look for the question format that matches the skills or knowledge you need to assess.
Check exam delivery and proctoring
Exam delivery controls how an assessment reaches its participants. Proctoring can add supervision to an exam workflow.
Compare these two areas separately so the delivery method and supervision approach fit your process.
Check grading and reports
Automated grading can reduce manual marking for supported question types. Assessment reporting helps you review results after delivery.
Check how the tool handles the question types and reports your process requires.
Review licensing for open code
When code access or modification matters, verify whether open-source code is available and read the applicable licence before adoption.
