SikGen AI vs Moodle
Moodle is the right choice if you need a free, open-source LMS and have technical staff to host, configure, and maintain it. SikGen AI is the better choice for coaching institutes and exam-prep organisations that want AI tutoring, automatic question generation, and proctored mock exams working on day one — without plugins, servers, or developers.

Choose SikGen AI if…
- You want AI tutoring and auto-generated practice without building it yourself
- You run competitive-exam or skill-based coaching and need realistic proctored mocks

What SikGen AI adds
- Built-in RAG AI tutor that answers from your own course material with source citations — Moodle’s core AI (4.5+) covers summaries and text generation via configured providers, not a source-cited tutor
- Automatic generation of MCQ tests, flashcards, and summaries from any PDF — Moodle question banks are authored manually unless you add third-party AI plugins
- Pixel-faithful multilingual proctored mock exams included — Moodle offers Safe Exam Browser lockdown, but webcam proctoring requires third-party plugins
- Zero setup: upload material and the platform activates — no servers, hosting, or plugin configuration
- AI-generated coaching insights and Elite→At-Risk student segmentation built in
Where Moodle is strong
- Free and open-source with no per-student licensing cost
- Enormous plugin ecosystem and global community
- Full self-hosting control over data and infrastructure
- Mature, proven at university scale
