DigiProctor vs MonitorExam: Which Online Proctoring Platform Is Right for You?

Updated June 2026 · 7 min read · MonitorExam

⚡ Quick Answer
DigiProctor is an enterprise Examination Management System built for large universities — it manages the full exam lifecycle from question banks to results, hosted in a Tier-4 data centre, with pricing on request. MonitorExam is a cloud-based proctoring layer that works with any existing exam tool including Google Forms, requires no installation, offers a free tier, and takes 5 minutes to set up. If you manage a large institution's entire exam infrastructure, DigiProctor is purpose-built for that. If you need to add secure proctoring to any exam quickly, MonitorExam is the answer.

Both DigiProctor and MonitorExam solve the same fundamental problem — ensuring the right person sits an online exam, honestly. But they solve it for very different contexts, at very different price points, with very different architectures.

This is an honest comparison written by the MonitorExam team, based on publicly available product information, verified user reviews from Capterra, SoftwareSuggest, and GetApp, and our own product documentation.

Who Is DigiProctor For?

DigiProctor is a web-based testing and proctoring solution for schools and businesses across all industries, providing features such as exam scheduling, question bank management, live proctoring, grading, and post-exam reporting.

It was built primarily for:

• Large universities and higher education institutions managing thousands of students
• Nursing councils and professional certification bodies
• Corporate training and testing departments
• Institutions that need an end-to-end examination system — not just a proctoring layer

DigiProctor is hosted in a secure, certified Tier-4 data centre. For institutions with strict data sovereignty and uptime requirements, this matters significantly.

Who Is MonitorExam For?

MonitorExam was built for everyone who needs secure proctoring without enterprise infrastructure overhead:

• Individual teachers running Google Forms exams
• EdTech platforms embedding proctoring via API
• Corporate HR teams running remote hiring assessments
• Institutions in low-bandwidth environments (India, Southeast Asia, Africa)
• Organisations that need a proctored exam running in under 5 minutes
• Any team that already has an exam tool and just needs to add a security layer on top

Feature-by-Feature Comparison

Where DigiProctor Is Stronger

Being honest about where the competition has genuine advantages:

1. End-to-end exam lifecycle management
DigiProctor manages the entire process from question bank creation to post-exam analytics — it is a complete Examination Management System, not just a proctoring layer. For institutions that want a single vendor managing everything from question creation to result dispatch, DigiProctor's integrated suite is a genuine advantage.

2. Enterprise data infrastructure
DigiProctor is hosted in a secure, certified Tier-4 data centre. For institutions with strict compliance requirements around data sovereignty and uptime, this level of infrastructure commitment provides assurance that cloud-first platforms may not yet match.

3. Institutional track record
DigiProctor software and team met all the requirements and features needed to conduct online proctored examinations for universities, colleges, or any other institutions. They provide comprehensive training to faculty and students for efficient use, as well as real-time technical and customer support. For large institutions where vendor support and implementation services matter as much as the product itself, DigiProctor's services model is a genuine advantage.

4. Dedicated TestPad application
DigiProctor's TestPad locks down the student's primary device screen at the application level — preventing window switching through the OS, not just the browser. For maximum-security environments where browser-based lockdown is insufficient, application-level control is stronger.

Where MonitorExam Is Stronger

1. No installation — works on any device, any browser
DigiProctor requires a dedicated TestPad application. MonitorExam runs entirely in the browser with no extension, no app download, and no installation. Students open a link and go. This matters enormously when students are using personal devices, restricted school devices, or older hardware.

2. Google Forms compatibility
DigiProctor does not integrate with Google Forms. MonitorExam was specifically built to add a proctoring layer to any Google Forms link — the most widely used exam tool for teachers globally.

3. Camera-optional proctoring
DigiProctor requires active webcam monitoring for its core proctoring functions. MonitorExam's camera-optional mode proctors through browser lockdown, behavioural analytics, and session logging — without a video feed. This makes MonitorExam accessible in low-bandwidth environments and for students in shared spaces.

4. FIDO2 passkey authentication
MonitorExam uses FIDO2/WebAuthn passkey authentication — device-bound biometric credentials that cannot be phished or shared. DigiProctor uses facial recognition for identity verification, which has well-documented accuracy concerns across different demographics and lighting conditions. FIDO passkeys have no such accuracy variance.

5. Free tier and transparent access
DigiProctor does not offer a free version. MonitorExam offers a free tier for small-scale use. Teachers can start today without a sales call or contract negotiation.

6. API with webhooks
DigiProctor does not offer an API. MonitorExam's CredAPI provides RESTful integration, real-time result webhooks, and OAuth 2.0 authentication — making it embeddable in any EdTech platform or HR system.

7. 5-minute setup
DigiProctor is an enterprise deployment requiring institutional setup, staff training, and integration configuration. MonitorExam is live in 5 minutes for any teacher or HR team.

Which Should You Choose?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is DigiProctor free?
DigiProctor does not offer a free version. It offers a free trial. MonitorExam offers a permanent free tier for small-scale use.

Does DigiProctor work with Google Forms?
No — DigiProctor operates through its own TestPad application. MonitorExam integrates directly with Google Forms via link paste — no additional setup required.

What is the difference between DigiProctor's Trust Score and MonitorExam's CredScore?
DigiProctor's Trust Score is generated in real time during the exam and used to trigger human proctor intervention. MonitorExam's CredScore is a 7-angle integrity rating generated at submission — combining identity verification, session continuity, behavioural signals, browser integrity, environmental monitoring, device signals, and response quality into a single auditable score.

Can MonitorExam replace DigiProctor for a large university?
For institutions that need end-to-end exam lifecycle management — question banks, scheduling, invigilation, and grading — MonitorExam's proctoring layer would need to be combined with AssessME for assessment creation and CredME for credential verification to match DigiProctor's full scope. For institutions that already have assessment infrastructure and need to add a proctoring layer, MonitorExam is a direct replacement.
