ProProfs Quiz Maker lives in the browser, where building, sharing, grading, and reporting all happen in one place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lede\">That one difference shapes almost everything else. It changes how you collaborate, how learners reach your quiz, what happens when an exam needs to be proctored or an essay needs to be graded, and what the whole setup costs. So the right pick depends less on which tool lists more features and more on where you want the work to happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lede\">This guide compares the two across authoring, exam security, AI, reporting, distribution, learner experience, compliance, and pricing, and it says plainly where iSpring QuizMaker is the better fit. If you want the short version, start with the At a Glance table, then jump to the section that matches your biggest requirement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"herochoose\">\n<div class=\"hc pp\">\n<h3>Choose ProProfs Quiz Maker<\/h3>\n<p>&bull; You need a browser-based quiz maker that works on any computer, with nothing to install<br \/>\n&bull; You need graded, certified, or proctored exams, not just a quiz that plays inside an LMS<br \/>\n&bull; You&#8217;re building employee training, compliance testing, or hiring assessments<br \/>\n&bull; You want AI to grade essays and summarize reports, not just write questions<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hc tl\">\n<h3>Choose iSpring QuizMaker<\/h3>\n<p>&bull; You author on Windows and want a desktop tool with fine control over question design<br \/>\n&bull; You publish to an LMS you already run and need SCORM, xAPI, cmi5, or AICC output<br \/>\n&bull; You have a few authors serving large audiences and want a flat per-author license<br \/>\n&bull; You don&#8217;t need native proctoring, AI grading, or built-in certificates and recertification<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"At_a_Glance\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"At_a_Glance\"><\/span>At a Glance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"intro-line\">Before we get into each feature area in detail, here&#8217;s how ProProfs Quiz Maker and iSpring QuizMaker compare across the entire platform, from authoring and AI to security, pricing, and support.

If you want a PowerPoint-style course authoring suite plus a dedicated LMS from one vendor, iSpring is a fair fit.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ctarow\"><a class=\"btn primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/quiz-school\/register\/\" target=\"_blank\">Get Started Free<\/a><a class=\"btn secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/quiz-school\/register\/?demo\" target=\"_blank\">Get a Demo<\/a><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Should_You_Choose\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Should_You_Choose\"><\/span>Which Should You Choose?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"intro-line\">Here is the simplest way to decide.<\/p>\n<div class=\"choose\">\n<div class=\"col pp\">\n<h3>Pick ProProfs Quiz Maker if<\/h3>\n<p>Pick ProProfs Quiz Maker to Build, Host, and Prove Quizzes From Any Browser<\/p>\n<p>If you need a simple quiz maker for employee training, compliance testing, hiring assessments, or exams that have to hold up, and you want it to work without a Windows PC or a separate LMS, this is built for it. Create quizzes with AI from a topic or an uploaded file, choose from a 1,000,000+ question bank, grade essays automatically against your rubric, and add native proctoring, tab-switch blocking, and certificates with expiry dates, with no third-party add-on. Share by link, embed, or learner portal, roll results up into a grade book, reassign retakes before a certificate expires, and reach a real person by 24\/7 live chat, plus phone and email. And when you need more than quizzes, it grows with you: Quiz Maker comes free inside ProProfs Training Maker, a full LMS, alongside webinars, surveys, and a knowledge base, so you are never left with separate systems that do not talk to each other. You can start free.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col tl\">\n<h3>Pick iSpring QuizMaker if<\/h3>\n<p>Pick iSpring QuizMaker if You Author on Windows and Deliver Through Your Own LMS<\/p>\n<p>If you build on a Windows PC and publish to an LMS you already run, iSpring QuizMaker fits that shape well. You get 14 question templates, branching scenarios, info slides, question pools, and a built-in Equation Editor, with SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI, cmi5, and AICC output that has been manually tested on 156 LMSs. Its $470 per user per year license does not rise with the number of quiz takers, and iSpring documents ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certification for its web services. It works best when your LMS handles tracking, certificates, and reminders, and you don&#8217;t need native proctoring or AI grading.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta\">\n<p><b>One-line takeaway:<\/b> iSpring QuizMaker is a capable desktop tool for building quizzes that play inside your LMS. ProProfs Quiz Maker is the one to pick when the quiz also has to be hosted, proctored, graded, certified, and proven without an LMS doing that work.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ctarow\"><a class=\"btn primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/quiz-school\/register\/\" target=\"_blank\">Get Started Free<\/a><a class=\"btn secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/quiz-school\/register\/?demo\" target=\"_blank\">Get a Demo<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Migrating_from_iSpring_QuizMaker_to_ProProfs_Quiz_Maker\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Migrating_from_iSpring_QuizMaker_to_ProProfs_Quiz_Maker\"><\/span>Migrating from iSpring QuizMaker to ProProfs Quiz Maker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"intro-line\">Switching over doesn&#8217;t mean starting from scratch. Most teams move in an afternoon, especially when they bring existing question sets along instead of rebuilding everything by hand. The goal is to carry your content over, then turn on the hosting, proctoring, AI grading, and recertification features that QuizMaker leaves to your LMS.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"rt\">\n<li><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Export what you have. Publish each quiz from iSpring QuizMaker to a Word document, keep your project files, and pull your results from your LMS or email before you start rebuilding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Rebuild with bulk import. Upload the Word or Excel file to ProProfs, or use file-to-quiz, so you&#8217;re not retyping every question by hand. Check that the correct answers came across.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Add the controls QuizMaker left to your LMS. Turn on native proctoring, tab-switch blocking, AI essay grading, certificates, and automated recertification reminders for anything that now needs to be a real exam.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Set up your classroom or groups. Recreate your audience as groups or subgroups so reports and certificates route correctly, and keep SCORM or xAPI publishing if your LMS still needs it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Run a pilot, then cut over. Test one quiz end to end, compare the report against what your LMS used to show, and switch fully once it matches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"guide\">\n<h2 class=\"gtitle\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Buyer%E2%80%99s_Guide_ProProfs_Quiz_Maker_vs_iSpring_QuizMaker\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Buyer%E2%80%99s_Guide_ProProfs_Quiz_Maker_vs_iSpring_QuizMaker\"><\/span>The Buyer&#8217;s Guide: ProProfs Quiz Maker vs iSpring QuizMaker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"q\">TL;DR<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"rt\">\n<li>iSpring QuizMaker is a Windows desktop authoring tool that builds quizzes for the web or an LMS. ProProfs Quiz Maker is a browser-based assessment platform that also hosts, delivers, and reports on them.<\/li>\n<li>ProProfs Quiz Maker adds native proctoring, AI essay grading, AI report summaries, certificates, and automated recertification that iSpring QuizMaker does not document, leaving tracking and certification to your LMS.<\/li>\n<li>Both publish to your LMS through SCORM and xAPI; iSpring QuizMaker also adds cmi5 and AICC, with compatibility tested on 156 LMSs. It also has per-author pricing that does not rise with the number of takers.<\/li>\n<li>iSpring holds ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certification for its web services. ProProfs Quiz Maker is GDPR and CCPA compliant and runs on SOC 2-level hosting infrastructure, but does not hold its own ISO certificate today.<\/li>\n<li>Pricing models differ: ProProfs bills per active quiz taker each month, iSpring bills per author each year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Which one should you actually buy?<\/h3>\n<p>Buy based on where the quiz has to live and what has to happen after someone answers. If the quiz runs inside an LMS you already pay for, and that LMS handles tracking, certificates, and reminders, iSpring QuizMaker is a capable way to build it. If you want one place to build, host, proctor, grade, certify, and report, without depending on a separate LMS to do those jobs, ProProfs Quiz Maker is built around that.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">How do the pricing models actually compare?<\/h3>\n<p>ProProfs Quiz Maker charges $19.99 per 100 active quiz takers a month, billed by the month. An active quiz taker is one unique person in a month, however many quizzes or attempts they make, and instructors are unlimited. iSpring QuizMaker costs $470 per user per year, billed annually and licensed to a named user, with no charge per quiz taker.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tablewrap\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Scenario<\/th>\n<th class=\"pp\">ProProfs Quiz Maker<\/th>\n<th class=\"tl\">iSpring QuizMaker<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"feat\">1 author, 100 takers a month<\/td>\n<td class=\"cell win-pp\" data-label=\"ProProfs Quiz Maker\">\n<div class=\"cellwrap\"><span class=\"tick pp\">&#10003;<\/span><span class=\"val\">$19.99 a month, about $240 a year<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"cell win-tl\" data-label=\"iSpring QuizMaker\">\n<div class=\"cellwrap\"><span class=\"tick tl\">&#10003;<\/span><span class=\"val\">$470 a year<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"feat\">5 authors, 100 takers a month<\/td>\n<td class=\"cell win-pp\" data-label=\"ProProfs Quiz Maker\">\n<div class=\"cellwrap\"><span class=\"tick pp\">&#10003;<\/span><span class=\"val\">$19.99 a month, about $240 a year, with unlimited instructors<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"cell win-tl\" data-label=\"iSpring QuizMaker\">\n<div class=\"cellwrap\"><span class=\"tick tl\">&#10003;<\/span><span class=\"val\">$2,350 a year (5 licenses)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"feat\">1 author, 1,000 takers a month<\/td>\n<td class=\"cell win-pp\" data-label=\"ProProfs Quiz Maker\">\n<div class=\"cellwrap\"><span class=\"tick pp\">&#10003;<\/span><span class=\"val\">$199.90 a month, about $2,399 a year<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"cell win-tl\" data-label=\"iSpring QuizMaker\">\n<div class=\"cellwrap\"><span class=\"tick tl\">&#10003;<\/span><span class=\"val\">$470 a year, plus an LMS or hosting<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>The honest read is that the two cross over at roughly 200 active takers a month for a single author. Below that, ProProfs costs less, and it is far cheaper for a team of several authors with a modest audience. Above that, iSpring QuizMaker costs less per year, but its price covers only the authoring tool: you still need an LMS or web hosting to deliver the quiz and keep results, and AI generation means a separate iSpring Suite AI or Cloud AI license. Compare what you would actually need, not just the QuizMaker price, and always recheck both vendors&#8217; live pricing pages before budgeting, since both change these numbers.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Quiz builder or assessment platform: which category am I actually in?<\/h3>\n<p>A tool that authors a quiz and hands it to something else is a quiz builder, and iSpring QuizMaker does that very well, with branching, equations, and wide LMS compatibility. A tool that also hosts the quiz, controls the exam, grades it, certifies it, and reports on it is an assessment platform, and that is where ProProfs Quiz Maker sits. Mixing up the two is a common reason a team ends up stitching several tools together.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">How do the AI tools actually differ day to day?<\/h3>\n<p>ProProfs&#8217; AI is part of Quiz Maker on every plan: it writes a quiz from a topic, refines any question, grades essays against a rubric, coaches a taker on a wrong answer, flags AI-written responses, and summarizes a report the moment you open it. iSpring&#8217;s AI generates single-choice and multiple-response questions from text you select, inside iSpring Suite AI or iSpring Cloud AI, which are sold separately. From there, grading, feedback, and reporting are manual.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">What should I know about security before I commit?<\/h3>\n<p>ProProfs Quiz Maker is GDPR and CCPA compliant and runs on AWS and IBM infrastructure described as SOC 2-level, with encryption in transit, daily backups, a web application firewall, DDoS mitigation, and continuous security scans. That SOC 2-level posture belongs to the hosting providers rather than to ProProfs, and ProProfs does not currently document its own ISO 27001 certificate or a HIPAA business associate agreement. For buyers with specific legal requirements, ProProfs offers a negotiated Enterprise Security license covering data ownership and a recovery data vault, which is a contract option rather than a certificate.<\/p>\n<p>iSpring documents GDPR compliance, a data processing agreement, and ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certification, with documentation available on request, and it names ISO 27001 certified hosting providers. Its security page is written about its web services, and QuizMaker itself is a desktop application, so where your learner data ends up depends on the LMS, server, or email you send results to. Neither vendor publicly documents a HIPAA business associate agreement on the pages we reviewed. If your procurement team requires an audited ISO 27001 certificate specifically, iSpring has a clear advantage, and you should confirm current status directly with each vendor.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">What does reporting actually look like once the test is over?<\/h3>\n<p>ProProfs Quiz Maker produces individual, group, and team reports, a grade book across every quiz a group has taken, and question-level difficulty, exportable to Excel, CSV, or PDF and shareable with people who have no ProProfs account. iSpring QuizMaker sends a short or extended report for each attempt to the instructor, the learner, a server, or an LMS. If you need to prove a training program&#8217;s outcomes over months, the program-level view comes from your LMS with iSpring and from the tool itself with ProProfs.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">What kind of support will I actually get?<\/h3>\n<p>ProProfs offers 24\/7 live chat with a response under two minutes, phone support Monday to Friday, 8AM to 6PM EST, at (855) 776-7763, and email support with a one-business-day response guarantee, plus a dedicated success manager and personalized onboarding on Business plans and 1,000+ self-serve help articles and video guides. iSpring provides extensive help documentation, email support, and a US phone line, +1 800 640 0868; its QuizMaker page does not state support hours, and 24\/7 technical support is listed with its Suite plans. If you want a person to talk to before a deadline, confirm the hours for the plan you would buy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tough\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"q\">What is the best iSpring QuizMaker alternative for browser-based quizzes?<\/h3>\n<p>ProProfs Quiz Maker is the closer fit if you want to build in a browser, host and deliver quizzes without an LMS, and add proctoring, AI grading, certificates, and automated recertification. If your quizzes live inside an LMS you already run, iSpring QuizMaker is still a capable choice.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Is there a free iSpring QuizMaker alternative?<\/h3>\n<p>ProProfs Quiz Maker&#8217;s forever-free plan lets you create unlimited quizzes with unlimited AI, at up to 12 questions per quiz, across 20+ question types including audio and video response. iSpring QuizMaker offers a 14-day free trial with full functionality, then $470 per user per year.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Who are the other iSpring QuizMaker competitors worth knowing about?<\/h3>\n<p>For desktop and course authoring, Articulate Storyline, Adobe Captivate, and Lectora are the usual comparisons. For hosted quiz and exam platforms, ClassMarker, TestGorilla, and Typeform come up often. ProProfs Quiz Maker sits closest to the hosted assessment group, built around grading, proctoring, and certification across business, training, and education.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Can I use ProProfs Quiz Maker on a Mac?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. ProProfs Quiz Maker runs in a browser, so you can build and manage quizzes on any computer without installing anything. iSpring QuizMaker is a Windows 11 or 10 desktop application, although learners can take a published quiz on any device.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Can ProProfs Quiz Maker publish to my LMS the way iSpring QuizMaker does?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, for the mainstream standards. ProProfs Quiz Maker is SCORM and Tin Can (xAPI) compliant, with LRS integration. iSpring QuizMaker supports a wider list, adding cmi5 and AICC, and has manually tested compatibility with 156 LMSs, so if you need one of those standards or a very specific LMS, check it first.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Which is more affordable at scale?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on your cost driver. ProProfs Quiz Maker bills $19.99 per 100 active quiz takers a month, so cost tracks how many people take quizzes, with unlimited instructors. iSpring QuizMaker costs $470 per user per year, so cost tracks how many authors you have and does not rise with takers. A single author serving a large audience will usually find iSpring cheaper, before the cost of an LMS or hosting; a team of several authors with a modest audience will usually find ProProfs cheaper.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Is ProProfs Quiz Maker secure enough for certification exams?<\/h3>\n<p>It includes native proctoring with screen share, webcam, and microphone, tab-switch blocking, IP restriction, and timed windows without needing a third-party add-on. ProProfs is GDPR and CCPA compliant and hosted on AWS and IBM infrastructure described as SOC 2-level, though that posture belongs to the hosting providers rather than to ProProfs, so confirm your specific compliance requirement before committing.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Can I move my iSpring QuizMaker questions into ProProfs Quiz Maker?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, without retyping. iSpring QuizMaker can export a quiz to a Word document, and you can upload a Word or Excel file to ProProfs, where AI reads the questions, answer choices, correct answers, points, and tags. Check that the Word export includes your correct answers, and add them in a spreadsheet if it does not.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Straight_Answers_About_iSpring_QuizMaker\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Straight_Answers_About_iSpring_QuizMaker\"><\/span>Straight Answers About iSpring QuizMaker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The pointed questions buyers ask, answered on the facts. Where iSpring QuizMaker is the better choice, it says so.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Does iSpring QuizMaker run on a Mac or in a browser?<\/h3>\n<p>No. iSpring QuizMaker is a desktop application for Windows 11 and 10, in 32 and 64 bit. Learners can take a published quiz on a computer, tablet, or smartphone, but the authoring itself happens on a Windows PC. ProProfs Quiz Maker is built and managed in a browser.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Does iSpring QuizMaker offer proctoring or tab-switch blocking?<\/h3>\n<p>Not that we found. Its testing rules cover question and answer shuffling, question pools, time limits, attempt limits, custom points, penalties, and negative scoring. Anything beyond that, such as access control, depends on your LMS or server. ProProfs Quiz Maker includes native proctoring, tab-switch blocking, copy and print disabling, and IP restriction.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Can iSpring QuizMaker grade essays or issue certificates?<\/h3>\n<p>Essay questions work only as survey-type questions, which are not graded, and no AI grading is documented. Certificates are not documented in QuizMaker either, so they depend on the LMS you publish to. ProProfs Quiz Maker grades essays with AI against a custom rubric and issues branded certificates with expiry dates.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Does iSpring QuizMaker host quizzes and track results?<\/h3>\n<p>Not by itself. It publishes HTML5 files for you to host, SCORM, xAPI, cmi5, or AICC packages for an LMS, a direct publish to iSpring Learn, or a Word handout, and it sends results by email, to a server, or to an LMS. Hosted sharing through iSpring Cloud requires iSpring Suite AI. ProProfs Quiz Maker hosts the quiz and reports on it in one place.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Does iSpring QuizMaker have AI?<\/h3>\n<p>AI question generation is part of iSpring Suite AI and iSpring Cloud AI, which are sold separately from the $470 QuizMaker license. It drafts single-choice and multiple-response questions from selected text, and iSpring states its AI is powered by third-party technologies and does not train on your content. No AI grading, feedback, or report summaries are documented.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">Is there a free version of iSpring QuizMaker?<\/h3>\n<p>There is a 14-day free trial with full functionality, after which QuizMaker is a paid annual license at $470 per user. ProProfs Quiz Maker&#8217;s forever-free plan lets you create unlimited quizzes with unlimited AI, at up to 12 questions per quiz.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"q\">What does iSpring QuizMaker genuinely do better?<\/h3>\n<p>Four things, clearly. It adds cmi5 and AICC to the SCORM and xAPI output both tools offer, with compatibility manually tested on 156 LMSs. It charges per author rather than per quiz taker, so it is far cheaper once one author serves a large audience, with roughly 200 active takers a month as the break-even against ProProfs for a single author, before LMS or hosting costs. It has info slides, so you can mix short lessons and quiz questions in one flow. And iSpring holds ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certification for its web services, with documentation on request, which ProProfs does not currently hold. If any of these is a hard requirement, iSpring QuizMaker is the stronger pick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"finalcta\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
