Pathly vs PathwayU

Pathly is a web-based college and career readiness platform for students, counselors, schools, districts, and independent educational consultants. Students can take personality, EQ, and values assessments, then receive AI career matches from more than 1,000 possibilities. They can build roadmaps with monthly and weekly milestones, track progress, and adjust plans. An AI mentor offers guidance on next steps, course selection, and application deadlines. Counselors can view assessment results, career recommendations, progress signals, and conversation starters, but cannot see students' AI conversations unless students choose to share them. Pathways include college, trade, apprenticeship, certification, and entrepreneurship. The counselor page lists nearly 1,000 careers, more than 4,800 colleges and other training paths, over 2,000 scholarships, and more than 400 free courses. Student accounts remain free. Counselor plans start at $199 per month for Solo, which includes one seat and 15 active students; the seven-day trial requires a payment card and converts to a paid subscription unless canceled before it ends. Pathly says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in US data centers, and not intentionally transferred internationally.
