Testportal Alternative and Testportal Alternatives for Hiring Tests
The closest Testportal alternatives for business testing are ClassMarker, ProProfs, TestGorilla, Testlify and Assessing AI. Testportal business plans run $35 a month for 30 results, $79 for 300 and $129 for 3,000, with a custom tier from $159. If you screen job applicants and need more than 30 results a month at the entry price, plus recorded voice and video answers, Assessing AI Starter is $49 a month for up to 500 responses, billed monthly with no contract.
Type a job title into the generator and read the draft. If you run very large exam volumes or need tab-switch detection, Testportal is the better buy at that scale, and the table below says so.
Draft a test for your open role
No account needed to build your first test. Results appear instantly in your dashboard.
Built for the hiring round, not the classroom
Testportal is a general online test maker that serves schools, universities and companies with the same engine. That breadth is useful if you run course exams one week and a compliance quiz the next. If your real job is screening 120 applicants for a customer support opening, you want a test written for that role, a voice answer you can listen to, and a ranked list at the end. That is the narrower thing Assessing AI does.
- Multiple choice scored the moment the applicant submits
- Personal invite links so only the people you choose can open the test
- Sort every applicant by total score and export to CSV
Why teams look for a Testportal alternative
Testportal is a solid, well-priced test maker with a 14-day trial and no card required. Business users who search for an alternative usually run into one of these six limits.
30 results on the entry plan
Standard at $35 a month collects 30 results. One job post on Indeed can bring 100 applicants in a week, so a hiring round pushes you to PRO at $79 before the first shortlist.
Results are the meter
Every plan is capped by collected results per month: 30, 300 and 3,000. Respondents per test are capped too, at 30, 300 and 1,000 below the custom tier.
A general quiz engine
The same product runs school quizzes, university exams and employee tests. Nothing in the setup is written around a job description, a hiring stage or an applicant shortlist.
Text answers only for open questions
Open questions are typed. For a phone sales or support role, you usually want to hear how the applicant sounds, which needs a recorded audio or video answer.
Prices moved in 2025
Testportal raised its Standard, PRO, MAX and MAX Customized prices from July 1, 2025. Third-party listings still quote the older $29, $59 and $99 figures, which makes budgeting confusing.
AI question writing marked beta
The plan comparison lists AI-generated tests and questions as a beta feature. On Assessing AI, drafting a full role-specific test from a job description is the core of the Plus plan.
How to move a Testportal test into a hiring screen
Export or copy your best questions
Keep the questions that actually separated strong and weak applicants last time. Drop the trivia. Ten good questions beat forty generic ones.
Generate the rest from the job description
Paste the job post or type the role. On Plus, the AI drafts multiple choice, written and recorded answer questions for that job, with correct answers marked, in under a minute.
Set the rules for the round
Add a time limit, shuffle the question order, block copy and paste, turn on webcam photo monitoring and set a pass mark that issues a certificate if you need one.
Send links and rank by score
Put one link in the job post or send personal invites. Choice answers score on submit, your team scores the written and recorded answers, and you sort applicants by total.

Who should switch, and who should stay on Testportal
Switch if you hire for customer-facing roles
Sales, support, front desk and dispatch roles are judged on how people talk. A recorded voice or video answer sits in the same test as the multiple choice on our $49 Starter plan.
Switch if a round brings 100 or more applicants
At 100 to 500 applicants a month, Starter covers the round for $49. On Testportal that volume sits on PRO at $79 for 300 results or MAX at $129.
Switch if you want the test written for you
Plus reads the job description and drafts the questions, the correct answers and the plausible wrong options. You edit and publish instead of writing forty questions from a blank page.
Stay for exams at very high volume
If you run 3,000 results a month, Testportal MAX at $129 is cheaper per result than any plan we sell below Pro. That is a real advantage for schools and large training programs.
Stay if you need tab-switch detection
Testportal's Honest Respondent Technology watches for respondents who leave the test. We block copy and paste and take webcam still photos, but we do not detect tab switching or record video.
Stay for Microsoft Teams quizzes
Testportal offers a Microsoft Teams integration for running quizzes inside Teams. We have no Teams app; the REST API and completion webhooks are on our Pro plan.
What Testportal costs next to a flat hiring plan
Testportal publishes its business prices. On the monthly view in October 2026, Standard is $35 a month for 30 results, PRO is $79 for 300 results and MAX is $129 for 3,000 results, with MAX Customized quoted from $159 a month for unlimited results. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day trial that needs no card, and results stay readable after a plan lapses, although the tests themselves are suspended.
Run the numbers for a hiring round. A small employer testing 150 applicants a month would outgrow Standard in the first week and land on PRO at $79, about 26 cents a result. Assessing AI Starter covers the same 150 for $49 a month, with room up to 500, and adds recorded answers. At 2,000 a month the picture flips toward Testportal MAX at $129, while our Plus plan is $149 and includes AI question drafting. If you want the full market view, the pre-employment assessment software pricing page lines up published prices across vendors.
A general test maker versus a hiring screen
Testportal treats a test as a test: questions, a time limit, an access code and a results table. That is exactly right for a teacher or a training team. Hiring adds steps around the test. You need questions about the job, not the topic, a way to hear a spoken answer for phone roles, a way to keep the link from being shared on a forum, and a list you can sort into a shortlist.
Assessing AI is built around that flow. The generator starts from the job title or description, personal invite links mean only the applicants you invited can open the assessment, and the results view ranks everyone by score while your team marks the written and recorded answers. Teams that came from a credit-metered tool will find the same comparison on our ClassMarker alternative page, and quiz-maker users can compare on the ProProfs alternative page.
The honest limits of switching
Know this before you move. Assessing AI has no prebuilt normed test library, no tab-switch detection, no video proctoring, no ID verification, no secure browser and no code execution. It does not grade written or recorded answers with AI; a person on your team scores those in the results view. AI question generation is on Plus, not Starter, and we have no free trial, only monthly plans with no contract.
What you get is a published price, monthly billing, up to 500 responses on the entry plan, four question types in one test including recorded video, automatic scoring with partial credit on multiple choice, webcam photo monitoring, copy and paste blocking, invite-only links, pass certificates with a public verification code and CSV export. If you are also weighing a library-based vendor, our TestGorilla alternative page runs the same honest comparison.
Testportal alternative questions buyers ask
What is the best alternative to Testportal?
The best Testportal alternative depends on the job. For certification exams with a payment wall, ClassMarker is the closest match. For hiring screens with recorded voice and video answers at a flat price, Assessing AI starts at $49 a month for up to 500 responses. For a validated prebuilt test library, TestGorilla and Testlify sell annual plans.
How much does Testportal cost?
Testportal business plans cost $35 a month for Standard with 30 results, $79 a month for PRO with 300 results and $129 a month for MAX with 3,000 results, on the monthly view in October 2026. MAX Customized is quoted from $159 a month with unlimited results. Older listings quoting $29, $59 and $99 predate the July 2025 price change.
Is Testportal free?
Testportal's business plans are paid, and each one starts with a 14-day trial with no card required. The education pricing page mentions a limited plan for teachers. When a trial or subscription ends, tests are suspended but earlier results stay accessible, so you can still read what you collected.
Can Testportal detect cheating?
Testportal offers Honest Respondent Technology, which watches for respondents who leave the test, plus webcam access and live progress monitoring. Assessing AI takes webcam still photos at the start and every three minutes and blocks copy and paste, but it does not detect tab switching, record video or verify ID.
Can I use Testportal for hiring?
Yes. Testportal lists recruitment among its business uses, and you can send applicants a test link with access codes. It is a general test maker, so you write the questions yourself and open answers are typed. Assessing AI drafts the test from the job description and adds recorded audio and video answers for customer-facing roles.
Does Testportal have AI question generation?
Yes. Testportal lists AI-powered question creation and import from PDF and Word files, and its plan comparison marks AI-generated tests and questions as beta. On Assessing AI, AI question generation is on the Plus plan at $149 a month and writes a complete role-specific test from a job title or description.
