Every event on your campus in one place — and a straight answer about which ones you can actually get to. Add your class schedule and NextToU works around it. Upload a screenshot of your timetable and it reads the classes for you. After that, every event tells you where it fits: "You can go from 10:00 AM", "Free 2:00 – 4:30 PM", or nothing at all if you'd be sitting in a lecture. Hide the clashes altogether if you'd rather not see them. The events come from across your university and are updated every day. Filter by what you actually care about — free food, music, career fairs, club meetings, game days — or search for something specific. Save anything you don't want to miss and get a reminder before it starts, as far ahead as you like. Reminders are scheduled on your phone, so they arrive whether or not you have a signal. Campuses: UCF, UF, USF, FSU, FIU, University of Miami and FAU. Free while we're in beta. Every feature is unlocked and there is nothing to pay.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: NextToU at every 3 days against BootShuffle's every 3 weeks. BootShuffle's advantage is ratings volume (145 vs 6). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
