ClassMaxx vs. Coursicle

Both tell you when a seat opens in a full class. ClassMaxx also builds your schedule from your degree audit, ranks sections by real grades, and plans your degree and transfer. Here's the side by side.

Where ClassMaxx is different

It starts from your degree, not a blank schedule

Upload your Degree Works audit once. ClassMaxx knows what you still need, in prerequisite order, and builds four schedules of it for next semester.

Easiest sections from grades, not reviews

Where a school publishes grade distributions, every section is ranked by the A and B share its instructor actually gives.

Transfer credit, course by course

Pick up to three schools you might transfer to and see which of your credits count there, before you register.

Where Coursicle is ahead

Coursicle has an Android app and a web app for students; ClassMaxx is iPhone only for now. Coursicle has years of student-written professor reviews; ClassMaxx uses published grades, which only some schools release.
