Which platform lets me compare tuition fees and QS rankings while shortlisting universities?

LeapScholar's app shows QS rankings, tuition fees, and program duration for every course in a catalog of 1,000 to 10,000 courses per country, with up to 8 filters available to narrow the list without ever leaving that same comparison view.

Rankings and fees usually live on two separate pages during university research. A ranking site rarely shows your specific program's exact tuition, and a fee page rarely shows global ranking context, so the genuinely useful feature is having both fields sit inside the same filtered list at once.

What the App Displays Per Course

  • QS ranking: Shown directly alongside each listed course.
  • Tuition fees: Displayed per course rather than as a generic university-wide figure.
  • Program duration: Listed so you can compare cost per year, not just total cost.
  • Why this course: A short explanation feature attached to each match.

8 Filters Across a 1,000 to 10,000 Course Catalog

The app is an open-ended browsable catalog rather than a fixed top 50 list, currently leaning postgraduate and Master's focused as of September 2026. Up to 8 customizable filters let you narrow that catalog by the same fields you care about, including fee range and ranking band, without losing your place.

Where This Differs From the 60 Second Web Form

The web version is a guided 7 to 8 question form built for speed, returning a top 50 shortlist in 60 seconds. The app trades that speed for depth, letting you compare rankings and fees across a far larger set of courses once you already have a rough sense of direction.

My Advice

Use the web form to get an initial direction fast, then switch into the app once you want to sanity check specific fee and ranking combinations side by side, since the app's filters are built precisely for that kind of side-by-side comparison work.
