Why Pay Up to $29.99/Mo for “Base Model” Beta Spells That Log Canvas Tab Leaves?
Quiz Wizard (quizwizard.app) pitches wizard-themed “Spells” for Canvas, Moodle, and Blackboard. When we audited its live pricing and extension architecture, we found an early-stage tool still labeled “Currently in Beta Test” (~50 daily users) that charges up to $29.99/month ($359.88/year) while admitting every tier runs on the exact same 92%-accuracy “base models”—and clicking its toolbar icon immediately fires window.blur in Canvas SpeedGrader.

Why Does the FAQ Promise 100 Free Spells While /pricing Gives Only 50?
On quizwizard.app, every single AI question explanation deducts 1 “Spell” from your monthly balance. When we compared the homepage FAQ against the live /pricing page, we found a glaring mismatch: the homepage FAQ promises “100 free AI explanations every month,” while the live pricing table restricts the Free ($0/mo) tier to just 50 Spells.
Once your free Spells run out, Quiz Wizard routes you through PayPro Global into three metered monthly subscriptions: Standard ($5.99/mo for 500 Spells), Pro ($14.99/mo for 2,000 Spells = $179.88/yr), or Premium ($29.99/mo for 5,000 Spells = $359.88/yr) with zero unused-Spell rollover. By contrast, ExamGhost AI gives you 50 Free Solves ($0) and 100% Unlimited Solves for $19/month or $99/year ($8.25/mo).

“All Plans Include Access to Our Base Models”—Even at $29.99/Month
Many students assume that upgrading to Quiz Wizard's $14.99/mo Pro or $29.99/mo Premium tier unlocks a deeper frontier reasoning model for Calculus, Physics, or Organic Chemistry. However, Quiz Wizard's own /pricing page explicitly states: “All plans include access to our base models and core browser features.”
On its homepage, Quiz Wizard benchmarks that base-model visual pipeline at a 92% success rate. On a 50-question university midterm, a 92% ceiling means missing 4 questions automatically before accounting for multi-step trick stems. ExamGhost AI routes every solve—including all 50 free trial solves—through our 99.4% Mathpix LaTeX OCR + frontier STEM reasoning pipeline in 0.3 seconds.

Same base model across $0, $5.99, $14.99, and $29.99/mo plans.
Full symbolic math, organic chemistry structures, and circuit analysis included on every tier.
Why Clicking an Extension Icon Logs a Tab Departure—And Why Cloud Session Logs Matter
Quiz Wizard instructs students to “simply click the extension while you have a question open.” In Chrome, Edge, and Brave, clicking an extension icon in the browser toolbar immediately steals active window focus from the webpage—firing window.onblur and document.visibilitychange to Canvas SpeedGrader (“Stopped viewing the Canvas quiz-taking page”).
Additionally, every Quiz Wizard plan lists mandatory “History tracking & session stats” stored on its cloud servers. ExamGhost AI operates via silent in-tab keyboard hotkeys inside a closed Shadow DOM root with active Focus Shield blur suppression and an instant Esc Panic RAM Flush that leaves zero cloud quiz history.

Frequently Asked Questions: Quiz Wizard vs ExamGhost
What is a “Spell” in Quiz Wizard and how many do you get for free?
On quizwizard.app, 1 “Spell” equals a single AI-generated question explanation. Notably, Quiz Wizard's homepage FAQ claims users receive “100 free AI explanations every month,” whereas its live /pricing page restricts the Free ($0/month) tier to 50 Spells. Paid plans charge $5.99/mo (500 Spells), $14.99/mo (2,000 Spells), or $29.99/mo (5,000 Spells) via PayPro Global.
Do Quiz Wizard's $14.99 Pro or $29.99 Premium plans unlock smarter AI models?
No. Quiz Wizard's /pricing page explicitly states: “All plans include access to our base models and core browser features.” Upgrading from $0 to $29.99/month ($359.88/year) only increases your monthly Spell quota—it does not upgrade reasoning depth or add proctor stealth.
Is Quiz Wizard safe to use on monitored Canvas or Blackboard exams?
No. Quiz Wizard is an unshielded Beta visual tutor that captures screen context without a Canvas Focus Shield. Clicking the extension icon in your browser toolbar dispatches window.blur and document.visibilitychange events directly to Canvas SpeedGrader. ExamGhost isolates its HUD inside a closed Shadow DOM and suppresses all blur/visibility telemetry.
How does ExamGhost's pricing compare to Quiz Wizard's monthly Spell tiers?
Quiz Wizard charges up to $14.99/month ($179.88/year) for Pro or $29.99/month ($359.88/year) for Premium Spell quotas. ExamGhost includes 50 Free Solves ($0) (with full Focus Shield + 10 Snap-It OCR snips), a $19/month Midterm Sprint pass, a $99/year Academic Year Pass ($8.25/mo, Unlimited Solves), and a $199 one-time Lifetime Degree Pass.
