Alternatives to Eklavvya

{"intro": "Eklavvya combines objective tests, coding challenges, voice assessments and AI interviews in a plug-and-play platform for institutions and enterprises. It accepts image, audio, objective and subjective questions, supports passing marks, topic structures, negative marking and difficulty settings, and adds remote proctoring, identity verification, audit logs and performance analysis. APIs cover candidate and exam workflows, scheduling, results, face verification, proctoring image analysis and code grading. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 25 exams and 1 GB storage, with usage counted by candidate exam instances.\n\nSwitching means weighing those assessment and integration features against deployment, content standards and learning tools. Eklavvya runs on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web and API connections, but it is managed SaaS and cannot run on a customer's server. Free-plan technical support is email-only, while prices for Standard, Professional and Enterprise are not provided. Alternatives may suit teams needing self-hosting, QTI or SCORM packages, numerate-subject authoring, broader course management, different proctoring workflows or a stated paid price.", "rows": [{"ref": "sw:tao", "name": "TAO", "best_for": "QTI-based assessments with cloud or self-hosted deployment", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from €499/mo (annual)", "key_difference": "TAO adds QTI authoring, exam-file conversion, AI drafting and self-hosted or private-cloud options that Eklavvya does not offer.", "choose_when": "Choose TAO when QTI interoperability, Moodle connections or customer-controlled hosting matter more than Eklavvya's coding and voice assessments."}, {"ref": "sw:thinkexam", "name": "ThinkExam", "best_for": "Institutions needing broad exam formats and proctoring", "pricing": "Free plan; 7-day trial", "key_difference": "ThinkExam covers paper, computer-based, hybrid and remote-proctored exams with adaptive testing and automated essay grading.", "choose_when": "Choose ThinkExam when varied delivery modes, live or AI monitoring, room scans and adaptive assessments outweigh Eklavvya's API breadth."}, {"ref": "sw:numbas", "name": "Numbas", "best_for": "Open-source mathematics and numerate-subject assessments", "pricing": "Free plan", "key_difference": "Numbas focuses on numerate disciplines, offers over 5,000 editable math questions and exports SCORM packages.", "choose_when": "Choose Numbas when mathematics content, VLE delivery or open-source self-hosting is more important than Eklavvya's general assessments and proctoring."}, {"ref": "sw:synap", "name": "Synap", "best_for": "Organizations authoring reusable, tagged exam question banks", "pricing": "From £1,200/yr · 14-day trial", "key_difference": "Synap provides reusable banks with 15+ question types tagged by topic, skill and difficulty, plus authoring, proctoring, marking and analysis.", "choose_when": "Choose Synap when a paid exam platform with structured reusable authoring suits your organization better than Eklavvya's free tier."}, {"ref": "sw:examination-online", "name": "Examination Online", "best_for": "Organizations combining exams, LMS and branded training", "pricing": "From $10 · 14-day trial", "key_difference": "Examination Online combines assessments with an LMS, courses, SCORM, live sessions, gamification, certifications and private branding.", "choose_when": "Choose Examination Online when course delivery, automatic certification, branded training and LMS functions are needed alongside exams."}, {"ref": "sw:tcexam", "name": "TCExam", "best_for": "Self-hosted institutional testing with detailed controls", "pricing": "Free plan", "key_difference": "TCExam is free self-hosted software with server-side timing, access restrictions, activity logs and TSV, XML and PDF exchange.", "choose_when": "Choose TCExam when local deployment, authentication modules and administrative control matter more than Eklavvya's managed SaaS convenience."}, {"ref": "sw:classmarker", "name": "ClassMarker", "best_for": "Quick web quizzes with reusable questions and certificates", "pricing": "Free plan · 30-day trial", "key_difference": "ClassMarker emphasizes instant grading, reusable randomized question banks, certificates, webhooks and public or private tests.", "choose_when": "Choose ClassMarker when straightforward quizzes, real-time results, certificates and integrations such as Zapier are the priority."}]}
