THE MARKET · THEIR OWN PAGES, CHECKED JULY 2026
Cut to the Case vs CaseCoach
CaseCoach is the polished incumbent: four separate video courses, a 100-case library, and a peer practice room, built on a McKinsey-interviewer-turned-headhunter's experience. It costs $199 a year, and the year runs out.
Change your mind? You have 24 hours, and only if you previewed fewer than 12 cases. Cut to the Case combines both universes in one loop: hear the wisdom in a 12-hour course, drill it skill by skill in the gyms, then perform, six graded cases and the timed test sims, until it is automatic. $69 once, forever, and 30 days to decide.

THE WHOLE GAME, NOT ONE STAGE
Learn. Drill. Perform.
Prep only works as a loop: the course teaches the game, the gyms drill each skill in isolation, and the cases and simulations make you perform the whole thing under grading. Most of this market sells you one stage and calls it prep.
STAGE 01 · LEARN
Hear the wisdom
12 hours of video from a McKinsey interviewer: business from zero, consulting math, the Interview Dance, behavioral, office strategy.
STAGE 02 · DRILL
Isolate each skill
Math Gym, Chart Lab, Structure Studio, flashcards. One skill at a time, like touches on a training pitch.
STAGE 03 · PERFORM
Play full matches
Six interactive cases graded on an interviewer rubric, plus timed McKinsey, BCG + Bain exam and game simulations.
Like training for match day: study the game, drill the touches, then play full matches until it is automatic. Skip a stage and the gap shows up in the interview, not before.

TWO RECRUITING CYCLES
$69
CUT TO THE CASE
$398
CASECOACH
Two recruiting cycles, which is what a reapplication takes: $199 × 2 versus one $69 payment that never expires.
When CaseCoach is the better pick
- · You want unlimited live mock interviews with other candidates; their Practice Room is a real peer marketplace and we don't run one.
- · You want a very large case library to grind with a partner over several months.
- · You prefer separate deep-dive courses over one sequenced path.
Fair questions.
Why six cases when CaseCoach has 100+?
Because you will not do 100 cases, and they overlap heavily. The six here cover every archetype you can face, run interactively, and get graded. Fewer distinct cases, done well, beat a library you never start.
Isn't a $199 product better than a $69 one?
Price signals positioning, not quality. CaseCoach charges yearly because subscriptions maximize revenue. I charge once because a student prepping for one recruiting season shouldn't fund a subscription business. Compare the contents, then the refund terms, and decide.
Can I use both?
You can. Some students buy Cut to the Case for the path, the simulations, and the AI-graded cases, and use free peer platforms for live mock reps. If you also want CaseCoach's practice room, nothing here conflicts with it.
What if my recruiting takes longer than a year?
That is the quiet cost of their model: reapplicants pay twice. Lifetime access exists here precisely because most people apply across more than one cycle.
Decide with 30 days of cover, not 24 hours.
