Human partners, coaches, drill platforms and AI interviewers, with prices and facts from each provider's own pages. We build Soreno, so we also say where the others are the better choice.
Facts come from each provider's own page. Where a page did not say something, we say so.
Peer practice
Human partners: PrepLounge or your consulting club
Live mock cases with another candidate
What its own page says
PrepLounge's free plan lists 10 peer meetings, limited case access and limited drills.
PrepLounge Premium is USD $69 for one year as a one-time payment (listed as reduced from $79). It lists unlimited mock interviews with peers, 200+ practice cases, 20 video case solutions and 220+ interactive exercises.
University consulting clubs and career centers often run peer case practice at no charge; availability depends on your school.
Better choice when
You want a real person to interrupt you, react to your body language and keep you honest. Nothing replaces live practice in the last weeks before a final round.
Trade-off
You depend on other people's schedules and skill, and feedback quality varies from partner to partner.
Flex plan: $1 per credit with a $5 minimum; a case practice is 4 credits and a drill is 0.5 credit. Credits do not expire.
Unlimited plan: $50 a month or $150 for 6 months, with a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Offers McKinsey, BCG and Bain interviewer styles, interviewer-led and candidate-led formats, drills and video courses. A free case assessment is available.
Its page does not say whether practice is spoken or typed.
Better choice when
You want to pay only for the cases you use, or a low flat monthly price for consulting-only practice.
Trade-off
Consulting-focused; check in the free assessment whether the format suits you.
Desktop interview assistant with practice scenarios
What its own page says
Free plan at $0 and a Pro plan listed from $25 a month.
Its core product is a desktop interview assistant; Pro lists eight practice scenarios: General, Coding, System Design, Behavioral, Product Case, Data / ML, Salary Negotiation and Recruiter Screen.
Consulting-style case interviews are not among those eight listed practice scenarios.
Better choice when
You are applying across many kinds of roles (engineering, product, data) and want one general tool, not consulting case depth.
Trade-off
Not built around consulting or finance case interviews.
BCG's careers site has a case interview preparation page and a free job simulation, OneDay@BCG.
BCG also uses an online case for some candidates, often called Casey. BCG tells those candidates what to expect, so use your invitation as the source for the format.
Better choice when
You are applying to BCG. Start with BCG's own material so you know the real format and what its recruiters say they look for.
Trade-off
It is not a library of unlimited cases with an interviewer that talks back.
Press coverage in April 2026 reports that McKinsey launched a free AI practice tool for candidates applying to entry-level business analyst and associate roles.
It is reported to generate quantitative case questions with unlimited attempts and show the answer and calculation steps.
Check mckinsey.com/careers for its current terms and eligibility.
Better choice when
You are applying to McKinsey for an entry-level role and want to practice its quantitative case style at no cost.
Trade-off
It covers quantitative questions, not a full spoken case with structuring and a recommendation.
Spoken practice with an AI interviewer that asks follow-up questions and shows exhibits, in McKinsey, BCG, Bain, strict and coach styles.
500+ practice questions, including 80+ full case studies, across consulting, investment banking and other finance, and behavioral.
Scored feedback quotes your own answer and gives a next-step plan; recorded sessions also get filler-word and eye-contact analysis.
7-day free trial with 2 mock interviews and 3 drills.
Better choice when
You want to practice out loud with realistic follow-ups, and you are preparing for more than one type of interview (for example consulting plus finance plus behavioral) under one subscription.
Trade-off
Costs more per month than text-based or drill-only tools, and it is an AI, not a human with real interviewing experience.
Everything you need to know about Soreno, answered in one place.
Most successful candidates combine three things: structured drills for math and structuring, many full cases out loud, and a few live sessions with a human partner or coach near the real interview. AI tools such as Soreno cover the volume of full cases and spoken practice. A human partner or coach covers the last stretch of live, unpredictable pressure.
It depends on what you need. Road to Offer and CaseWithAI are lower-priced and consulting-only. RocketBlocks is a strong choice for drills. Soreno is the better fit if you want a voice interviewer and one subscription for consulting, finance and behavioral practice. Use each tool's free trial or free case to check the format before paying.
No, and it should not replace live practice entirely. AI is better for volume, availability and consistent feedback on your structure, math and wording. A person is better at reacting to tone and body language and at judging whether you would be convincing to a real interviewer. Use AI for repetition and people for the final polish.
Soreno costs $199 a month or $349 a year, which is more than text-based or drill-only tools. It is worth considering if you value spoken practice with follow-up questions and want consulting, finance and behavioral practice in one place. If you only need consulting drills on a tight budget, a cheaper tool may be a better choice. The 7-day free trial lets you decide.
Prices and features were read from each provider's own pages in October 2026. Providers change prices often, so check the linked page before you buy. Soreno is our product; we list where other options are the better choice so you can compare fairly.
Yes, if you are applying to a specific firm. BCG and McKinsey publish their own preparation material and, according to press coverage, McKinsey has launched a free AI practice tool for entry-level applicants. They show the real format at no cost, and you can add a tool like Soreno for volume and spoken practice.
Test it on a real case
The 7-day free trial includes 2 mock interviews and 3 drills, so you can compare the feedback with the other tools you try.
