CanvasCrack charges $139.99 just to hide tab switches—with zero AI solver and no free trial.
CanvasCrack (canvascrack.com) charges $19.99/month or $139.99 one-time for an extension that only blocks Canvas tab-switching logs—and its FAQ explicitly states: "We don't offer a free trial." Because it has zero AI capabilities, you still have to manually copy-paste every question into ChatGPT. ExamGhost gives you both Focus Shield tab-blur immunity and a 0.3s inline AI solver inside a closed Shadow DOM—starting with 50 Free Solves.
Why Paying $139.99 Just to Switch Tabs to ChatGPT Is Obsolete in 2026
Select any tab below to see why CanvasCrack's manual copy-pasting workflow, lack of OCR, and strict upfront paywall fall short of ExamGhost.
CanvasCrack Forces You to Manually Copy-Paste Into ChatGPT on Every Question
CanvasCrack's own 3-step guide instructs students to "Switch between tabs freely during the test" to look up answers. On a 50-question timed exam, highlighting text and pressing ⌘+C fires document.oncopy listeners, switching to an external ChatGPT tab leaves 30+ seconds of dead mouse activity in Canvas, and wastes 25–45 seconds per question.
Highlight text -> Press ⌘+C -> Switch tab to ChatGPT -> Paste -> Read -> Switch back (~35s/Q).
Includes Focus Shield plus a 0.3s Double-Click inline AI solver inside a closed Shadow DOM—never leave your exam tab.
What Happens When a Question Is an Image or Blocks Copy-Paste?
On STEM, Economics, and Chemistry exams, professors routinely embed circuit schematics, supply-and-demand curves, organic chemistry rings, or enable user-select: none. Because CanvasCrack has zero OCR engine, you have to take OS screenshots, save image files, and manually upload them to ChatGPT. ExamGhost's Snap-It Vision OCR (⌘+Shift+S) parses any region in-memory in 0.3 seconds.
Zero optical capture tool—requires manual OS screenshots and file uploads to an external AI tab.
Press ⌘+Shift+S to crop any graph, equation, or LTI iframe in-memory in 0.3s.
CanvasCrack's FAQ: "We don't offer a free trial" vs. 50 Free Solves

Frequently Asked Questions: CanvasCrack vs ExamGhost
Everything students ask when comparing CanvasCrack (canvascrack.com) with ExamGhost.
Does CanvasCrack (canvascrack.com) solve quiz questions with AI?
No. CanvasCrack is strictly a Canvas tab-switching blocker. It contains zero AI models, zero OCR tools, and zero inline question solvers—meaning you still have to manually copy questions and switch tabs to ChatGPT during your exam. ExamGhost includes full Focus Shield tab-blur suppression PLUS a 0.3s inline AI solver and Snap-It OCR directly on the page.
Does CanvasCrack offer a free trial?
No. CanvasCrack's official FAQ states: 'We don't offer a free trial.' You must pay $19.99/month (listed as 30% off $28.55) or $139.99 upfront before testing it. By contrast, ExamGhost gives every student 50 Free Question Solves with Focus Shield and Snap-It OCR included—no credit card required.
Why is manually switching tabs to ChatGPT with CanvasCrack still risky?
Even when a script blocks window.blur, highlighting question text and pressing Ctrl+C/Cmd+C fires document.oncopy events, and leaving the Canvas tab for 30+ seconds leaves an unnatural gap in mouse movement and question interaction cadence. Because ExamGhost solves questions inline via Double-Click in 0.3 seconds, you never copy text to the clipboard or leave the exam tab.
Does CanvasCrack work on Blackboard, Moodle, or D2L Brightspace?
No. CanvasCrack is hardcoded solely for Instructure Canvas LMS. ExamGhost works universally across 20+ platforms including Canvas Classic, Canvas New Quizzes (LTI 1.3), Blackboard Ultra, Moodle, D2L Brightspace, McGraw-Hill Connect, and Pearson MyLab.
