Side by side
Scorafy vs Surpass (Scora)
Surpass is built around the high-stakes exam event - secure delivery, test centres, proctoring - with Scora marking scripts against expert-calibrated criteria. Scorafy is built around ongoing assessment work: it marks each open-ended submission against a rubric you author yourself, with per-criterion evidence, a release gate, and an override ledger, and you can be running it the same day.
AI-powered assessment platform that analyses each respondent's specific answers and generates a unique, personalised report with personalised strengths, development areas, and recommendations.
Free plan available. Self-serve paid plans from $39 USD/month (Starter) to $249/month (Pro), with Business and Enterprise plans quoted. Per-respondent AI assessment is included on every paid plan.
Surpass is an end-to-end assessment platform for high-stakes testing - authoring, item banking, delivery, scoring, and reporting for credentialing and licensure bodies, with a global test-centre network and integrated remote proctoring. Scora is its AI-supported marking product, which digitises and marks scripts against expert-calibrated criteria with teachers reviewing every output.

Why choose Scorafy?
The fundamental difference is in how responses are analysed. Most platforms - including Surpass (Scora) - treat responses as data points for aggregate reporting or template-based result pages.
Scorafy reads each respondent's specific answers - including free-text responses - and generates a completely unique assessment report. Every person gets personalised strengths, development areas, and actionable recommendations written specifically for them.

Our honest recommendation
Surpass is the right choice for high-stakes exam delivery - licensure and credentialing programmes that need secure test drivers, test centres, and proctoring, with Scora adding AI-supported marking under teacher review. Scorafy has no proctoring, no test-centre network, and no exam-event security model. Choose Scorafy for the assessment work that is not a proctored exam: coursework, competency evidence, workplace and RTO submissions, marked against your own rubric with per-criterion evidence, a release gate, and an audit trail, without an enterprise procurement cycle.
