Honest opinion
When the competition might be the better fit.
Pick Forage if…
You want bite-sized job simulations from Fortune 500 companies and care more about company exposure than blockchain proof.
Pick Riipen if…
Your university already runs a Riipen partnership and challenges flow through your professor as part of credit.
Pick Handshake if…
You're closer to graduation and need a job board with employer outreach. Handshake is a job board, not a credentials issuer.
