Constructor Proctor leads on hosting, devices, languages, and AI help for proctors. It runs in Constructor Cloud or on-premise on your own servers, supports exams on iOS and Android phones and tablets as well as Windows and macOS computers, and shows the candidate interface in 40 languages and the proctor console in 38. Proctors see each candidate's webcam, screen, and phone camera on one video wall sorted by suspicion score, and a fully automated mode is available. ProctorU's documentation lists Windows and Mac computers only, does not describe on-premise hosting, and includes a human proctor in every service line.
ProctorU, which is part of Meazure Learning, does some things better. Meazure supplies certified proctors and professional reviewers for live and recorded sessions, offers support by chat, phone, and ticket around the clock, and states a capacity of more than 30,000 Live+ and Review+ exams per day, while Constructor works with your own staff or provides trained proctors through its partners. It also runs more than 1,400 in-person test sites, connects through LTI to Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and D2L Brightspace, and states SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS compliance.
Both products offer live and recorded proctoring with human review, a secure browser for Windows and Mac, a phone as a second camera, chat with candidates, virtual machine detection, and single sign-on. The choice comes down to whether you want your own proctors, your own exam platform, and control over hosting and languages, or one provider that also supplies the proctors, the test centers, and ready connectors.

Constructor Proctor runs in Constructor Cloud or on-premise on your own servers, and is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. ProctorU describes recordings on encrypted AWS servers in a country set by contract, and states SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS compliance and a GDPR processor role. Its compliance page does not list ISO 27001. Ask each provider to document where recordings and identity data are processed, how long they are kept, and who can access them, and share the data processing documents with your legal team.
The Constructor Proctor candidate interface comes in 40 languages and the proctor console in 38, with localized guides. Constructor and its local partners provide support in your language. ProctorU offers support by chat, phone, and ticket around the clock and says other languages are available with advance notice, but it does not publish a full list of platform languages. Confirm candidate guides, exam-day support hours, and escalation in the proposal.
