Constructor Proctor leads on hosting, device coverage, and live contact with candidates. It runs in Constructor Cloud or on-premise on your own servers, supports exams on iOS and Android phones and tablets, where Honorlock does not allow exams on phones or tablets, and lets proctors call candidates by audio or video, where Honorlock's proctors join by chat. It also matches faces to ID documents automatically, which Honorlock states it does not do, detects virtual backgrounds, which Honorlock's public documentation does not describe, and shows the candidate interface in 40 languages.
Honorlock does some things better. Its trained live proctors are on call 24/7/365, and exams start whenever candidates are ready with no scheduling, while Constructor works with your own staff or provides trained proctors through its partners and uses a booking calendar. Honorlock also supports Chromebooks, connects through LTI 1.3 to eight learning platforms, runs Search & Destroy to find and remove leaked exam questions, and states SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and more than 10 million exams supported in a year.
Both products combine AI flags with human review, lock down the exam computer, use a phone as a second camera, detect virtual machines and virtual cameras, and block overlay tools. The choice comes down to what matters more: exams that start whenever candidates are ready with Honorlock's own proctors, or control over hosting, devices, languages, and who proctors.
