How Proctify Compares to SEB & Legacy Tools

See why universities running Moodle are replacing fragile browser extensions and unmonitored Safe Exam Browser setups with Proctify’s AI-powered lockdown suite.

Option AFree / Open-Source

Moodle Safe Exam Browser (SEB)

SEB turns the computer into a basic kiosk, but offers zero real-time supervision, no webcam recording, and no AI anomaly detection.

Free open-source kiosk software
Zero live video streams or invigilator controls
No HDMI hotplug or secondary display detection
Complex XML configuration file management
Best for: Low-stakes in-person computer lab quizzes.
Recommended Choice
Proctify$1.50 / student / mo

Proctify for Moodle

Engineered specifically for Moodle. Combines OS-level lockdown, continuous hardware scanning, live invigilation (warn/audio/terminate), and fair institutional pricing.

Native 1-click launch from Moodle "Attempt Quiz"
Continuous HDMI & multi-display scan
Live proctor cPanel: Warn, Talk, or Terminate session
Exportable .mp4 video & audit trail for tribunals
Teacher Open Book mode (Desmos, Python, PDFs)
Option C$15 - $25 / exam

Legacy Browser Extensions

Generic browser add-ons that run inside Chrome. Vulnerable to OS-level shortcuts, virtual webcams, and secondary monitor bypasses.

Browser-based webcam recording
Easily bypassed with HDMI splitters & VM sandboxes
Expensive per-exam pricing that penalizes frequent quizzes
Forces students to create accounts on external portals
Legacy tools built before generative AI and virtual webcam loops.
