VERDICT

Should I use CraftingCases?

Skip to main content - craftingcases.com

Depends. Buy if you're actively recruiting for consulting and want deep structuring and market-sizing drills beyond free casebooks. Skip if you're not interviewing for consulting or if course prices would force you to share an account.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 20+ public sources: forum and Reddit reviews, third-party reviews, and official pages. Course prices not visible in reviewed sources.

Gotchas - check before you buy

Free 7-day course funnels into paid upsells; budget for that.
