Why use BoilerSniper over all ready well-established big names like Coursicle?
Short Answer: Speed.
Platforms like Coursicle are great for what they are, but as the big platforms that they are, they have to track courses across a multitude of universities. BoilerSniper specializes in Purdue courses and, as such, can track courses and sections with incredible speed. BoilerSniper reports seat openings virtually instantaneously, whereas Coursicle experiences a major delay due to its scale. During the most competitive moments of open registration, especially at a university of over 57,000 students, speed is essential.
For instance, this is an example of BoilerSniper finding availability for an ECE 20001 section.
And in contrast, this is Coursicle, 30 minutes later.
That's right. BoilerSniper is THAT much faster. With Coursicle, that's 30 minutes for someone else to snatch the seat. With BoilerSniper, you're the one doing the snatching.
Long Answer: Speed... and BoilerSniper is completely FREE.
