Cut to the Case vs Crafting Cases
Crafting Cases is real teaching from Bruno and Julio, ex-McKinsey and Bain, and their free Case Interview Fundamentals course is honestly worth your time. Take it. Free is free.
The paid tier is a different story: no prices published anywhere on the site, courses gated behind an enrollment funnel, tenure dates unstated, refund terms unstated, and the scope is case skills only, no resume, networking, behavioral, office strategy, or first-year module, and no test or game simulations advertised. My price is on the page. Everything is included. You have 30 days.

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.
WHERE CRAFTING CASES LEAVES YOU
Strong classroom, decent training pitch, and no full matches before your real one.
LEARN · Covered

CRAFTING CASES
An honest comparison needs a number, and their site doesn't print one. When a course hides its price behind a funnel, ask what the funnel is for.
When Crafting Cases is the better pick
- · Their free Case Interview Fundamentals course; take it regardless of what else you buy.
- · You like their two-teacher, drill-heavy style for structuring practice.
- · You already own a full prep system and only want extra case-skill reps.
Fair questions.
Is their free course actually good?
Yes. It is a real course, not a lead magnet pretending to be one. Take it; it costs nothing and the structuring instruction is solid. Nothing about that conflicts with using Cut to the Case as your actual system.
Why make a thing of unpublished pricing?
Because you cannot comparison-shop a secret. Every other line on this page has a number next to it; theirs requires entering a funnel that is engineered to make leaving feel like quitting. Price transparency is a respect signal.
Are they legit?
Completely. This page is about economics and scope, not teaching quality: cases-only versus the whole journey, unpublished versus $69 on the page, unstated terms versus 30 days in writing.
Decide with 30 days of cover, not 24 hours.
