Constructor Proctor leads on hosting, languages, and live contact with candidates. It runs in Constructor Cloud or on-premise on your own servers, shows the candidate interface in 40 languages and the proctor console in 38, lets candidates book slots in a built-in calendar, and gives proctors a video wall with candidates allocated automatically. Proctors can also call candidates by audio or video, which Proctorio does not describe, and exams created in Constructor Assess are proctored directly, while Proctorio is applied to quizzes built in your LMS.
Proctorio does some things better. It runs on Chromebooks and Ubuntu as well as Windows and Mac, and connects through LTI to Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and Brightspace. Its Vault add-on scans the web for leaked exam content and blocks screen capture, and its Origin add-on checks authorship, while Constructor runs Turnitin originality checks in Constructor Assess, not in Proctor itself. Proctorio support is available 24/7 by chat, email, and phone.
Both products offer live, record-and-review, and automated proctoring, face and ID checks, a phone as a second camera, virtual machine detection, and AI flags that people review. The choice comes down to whether you want your own exam platform, control over hosting and languages, and booking and calls built in, or a browser-extension service that plugs into the LMS you already use and adds content protection and authorship checks.
A check means the feature is available. A partial marker means it is available with a stated limit. A cell without a marker means the vendor does not describe the feature in its public documentation. A cross means the vendor does not offer the feature.
