CheatMate vs QuizAce: Which Quiz Solver Is Better? (2026 Review)

CheatMate and QuizAce are both Chrome extensions that solve quiz questions. But they're in very different positions in 2026. Here's the honest comparison.

Quick Overview

CheatMate (cheatmate.io) launched in August 2025. It has ~1,000 Chrome Web Store users, a 3.67/5 rating from 9 reviews, and is currently listed for sale at $200,000 on TrustMRR. It generates approximately $7.2K MRR from ~470 subscribers.

QuizAce (quizace.ai) offers transparent pricing, a free tier (5 questions/day), auto-fill mode, and support for 5 major LMS platforms including Brightspace D2L and Google Forms.

Pricing: Transparent vs Hidden

QuizAce publishes all prices publicly: Free (5/day), $6.99/week, $12.99/month, $89.99/year. You know exactly what you're paying before creating an account.

CheatMate's pricing page shows $0.00 for all plans — a known bug. You must create an account and go through onboarding to see real prices. Based on revenue data ($7.2K MRR / ~470 subscribers), the average subscriber pays ~$16/month.

Platform Support

QuizAce supports Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace D2L, Google Forms, and Moodle. CheatMate claims Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle support, but at least one Chrome Web Store review says "doesn't work on d2l."

QuizAce's Brightspace support uses nested iframe traversal specifically built for D2L's architecture — a genuine technical advantage.

Features

QuizAce advantages: Auto-fill (clicks answers for you), image question support, network interception for higher accuracy, transparent pricing, free tier.

CheatMate advantages: Three named stealth modes (Invisible, Sneaky, Homework) — clever marketing that makes the product feel more premium.

The Elephant in the Room: CheatMate Is For Sale

CheatMate is listed on TrustMRR for $200,000 with 5 offers received. This means the founder is actively looking to exit. After a sale, development could slow or stop entirely. The 470 subscribers could face a product that stagnates.

This is the biggest risk with CheatMate in 2026: you're subscribing to a product whose future is uncertain.

Chrome Web Store Ratings

CheatMate has 9 ratings averaging 3.67/5. QuizAce has a 5.0/5 rating. CheatMate is listed as "Study Buddy" on the Chrome Web Store to avoid content policy issues — the name "CheatMate" is too explicit for Google's policies.

Our Verdict

CheatMate pioneered some good ideas (named stealth modes, anti-proctoring content). But with hidden pricing, a for-sale listing, low ratings, and uncertain future, QuizAce is the safer and more feature-complete choice in 2026.
