GradRight is built for Indian students financing a master's abroad, so most tools here solve a different problem. For master's applications specifically, Counselly covers GRE, TOEFL and IELTS and both undergraduate and master's. Kollegio is a strong free all-round AI counselor, and Admission.ai is the cheapest paid option. Uni suits self-driven undergraduates. And Zyra is an admissions and career platform free to start on Explore ($0), with Copilot at $15 a month and Advisor at $25 a month, though it does not handle financing. GradRight itself remains the pick when funding is the obstacle. Last verified July 2026.
