Should I use CounselMore?

College planning software for serious advisors. A true all-in-one platform — curriculum, college data, community, and tools. - counselmore.com

Gotchas - check before you buy

high

No public security documentation; request data-handling and compliance details before uploading student records

medium

Pricing not published in reviewed sources; expect a demo or sales contact to learn costs

medium

Most published reviews are vendor-curated; ask for current client references before committing

low

Vendor's 'mostly unbiased' software comparison is self-published; treat its rankings skeptically
