What each tool is for

MagicSchool's homepage lists 80+ teacher tools and 50+ student tools, from lesson planning to a recently relaunched presentation generator. Its Multiple Choice Quiz tool is described as generating a custom multiple choice quiz for any assignment. It states that it does not use student or teacher data to train AI, that it is SOC 2 certified and FERPA/COPPA compliant, and that it integrates with Google Docs, Google Classroom, Canvas and more.

SimpleQuizMaker is a specialist. The whole product is built around creating a quiz, sharing it with people who need no account, seeing results and studying the material with spaced repetition.
