Terrible experience/Scam. Charged without a single warning.

Terrible experience. They make money off our forgetfulness. Never used it after the trial. My card was being charged for 10 months, without a SINGLE MAIL WARNING ME that I am about to be charged 40$/month. Nor a confirmation email that I just paid 40$. I ended up paying them $400 and I didn't even use it once. Terrible support. Scam. They make money out of people's forgetfulness.

Vendor Response

George, we've seen this duplicate review across various review channels and we've responded across each noting that we're sincerely sorry to hear about your experience. While we never intend to make money off user forgetfulness, we do our best to work with our customers to find suitable resolve. We do send emails at the start of trials and message in-app the trial duration - although we also realize that those things could be missed. Again, as we noted in response to your other reviews, we've passed this feedback onto our suport team.

A Game-Changer for Business Planning

LivePlan is an exceptional business planning software that simplifies the process of writing a comprehensive, professional business plan. I used it to develop the business plan for my new business, and I was amazed by its intuitive design and step-by-step guidance. One of the standout features is its AI-powered writing assistant. Instead of spending weeks crafting a detailed plan, I simply input bullet points and key ideas, and LivePlan transformed them into polished, well-articulated paragraphs—saving me countless hours while ensuring clarity and professionalism. The software also allows for financial modeling, helping users explore different financial scenarios with ease. With its user-friendly interface and structured approach, LivePlan made the entire process seamless and efficient, and I was able to create a high-quality plan in just four hours. For anyone launching a business or refining their strategy, LivePlan is a must-have tool. It truly elevates business planning and makes the process smooth, strategic, and stress-free.
