Comparison
BobbyBrowser vs Digiexam
Digiexam secures the exam: during a test it seals the device so students can't open apps, browsers, or AI tools. BobbyBrowser solves the other 95% of the week — everyday assignments, per-assignment AI policy, a Socratic tutor, and live writing feedback — and still does assignment lockdown when you need it. Digiexam is exam-day; BobbyBrowser is every day.

Why teachers switch
- Digiexam locks down the exam; BobbyBrowser shapes every assignment — not just test day.
- Bobby ships a Socratic AI tutor that refuses to write essays. Digiexam has no tutor — it's a sealed exam desk.
- You get per-assignment AI policy and live Google Docs feedback during normal coursework, where most outsourcing actually happens.
- BobbyBrowser still does secure assignment lockdown when you need an exam-grade window — so you may not need a separate exam tool.
- Digiexam's lockdown covers Windows, Mac, iPad, and managed Chromebooks; BobbyBrowser adds native Linux plus an everyday browsing layer.
