ProctorDIY vs ThinkExam

ProctorDIY provides remote exam proctoring that lets instructors monitor their own students with AI assistance. Instructors or teaching assistants can live-proctor up to 25 students. Identity checks compare face, ID, and knuckle scans with a stored biometric profile. During an exam, the application checks for blacklisted applications and devices, captures screenshots and webcam data, and flags possible policy violations. Processed sessions and time-stamped, pre-flagged violations are returned to the instructor dashboard within 48 hours. The service integrates with LTI-compatible learning systems, including Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, Sakai, and Moodle. Students launch a lightweight application that the maker says downloads in under a minute and requires no administrative rights. The product is available on web, macOS, Windows, Android, as an extension, or self-hosted; Chromebook support depends on the LMS and product level. The maker offers cloud-based or on-premise data management. During an exam, the application may access connected devices, the screen, webcam, process and system logs, and keystrokes. Student data is typically deleted 90 days after the final course submission date. Pricing is on request.
