Fully Exam Kiosk vs PSI Secure Browser

Fully Exam Kiosk locks an Android device to a configured exam website during an online exam. Students can use the quiz site and its features, while the kiosk blocks access to other websites, apps, and device features; it also blocks app switching and screen capture. It supports learning management systems that work with Safe Exam Browser, including Moodle. Teachers can prepare configurations and distribute them as FEK files, permalinks, or QR codes, and can import Moodle Safe Exam Browser configuration files (.seb). Other exam websites can be used if their URL is kept secret, since students could otherwise open the site in another browser. The app can run on school-owned or student-owned devices. Safe kiosk mode may require show-on-top and usage-data access permissions. Kiosk mode can end through a configured quit link, a password-protected quit button, or a device reboot. The plan is free, with free access stated to last at least until the end of 2027. The maker notes that exam-site speed, bugs, and user experience are outside its control.

PSI Secure Browser provides a locked-down environment for online exams, supporting the process from launch and identity authentication through proctor connection, testing, and session end. Check-in may include a photo ID, selfie, room and floor-to-ceiling scans, accessory scan, and desk scan. PSI says the browser restricts other websites and applications and blocks actions such as copying, pasting, printing, and screen capture. It is offered as a downloaded browser or as a separate Chrome Extension. The Secure Browser supports specified 64-bit Windows 10 and 11, macOS Sonoma, Sequoia, and Tahoe, and Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04, and 26.04 LTS. Chromebooks cannot run the Secure Browser, though they can use the extension. Installation and administrator access are required on the test computer. Proctored exams require a webcam and microphone, and the camera must stay on during the exam. PSI offers live and record-and-review proctoring. Pricing is available on request.
