Great product!

Wonderful, user friendly and robust. Especially easy to grasp for new entrepreneurs.

PROS

Very useful for start-ups and new projects in existing companies. Very friendly as well for SMB consultants. I'd just recommend multilingual UI for the platform.

CONS

Not multilingual. Spanish is critical for our customers.

Reason for choosing IdeaBuddy

Pricing and easier interface. Perfect platform for SMBs

Absolutely fascinating. Financial Projections and Business Planning.

I honestly think it's wonderful. It allows me to look at my overall numbers in a quick and easy format. Plan my business in every aspect from the customer, the products, to market details.

PROS

It's easy to use. Affordable and allows for extensive financial projections for a my complex business problem.

CONS

It's sometimes a little buggy on the Business Plan Generator.

Reason for choosing IdeaBuddy

The financial projection and business plan generator were an integral part of my decision to purchase IdeaBuddy.

Reasons for switching to IdeaBuddy

I liked the design of the IdeaBuddy, its user-friendliness, and live chat support.

Small Business planning

Overall positive and I will keep using it!

PROS

I started with the free trial and continued on with a subscription. This has been a valuable tool in building my business plan and outlining and organizing my ideas for the company. I like that the business plan is thought-provoking in the items it captures. I also like that it will synthesize this into a complete and shareable document.

CONS

The web-based platform needs to be optimized for tablets and smartphones. Some of the features are not ideal in these settings. Currently I do not own a laptop/desktop so this is sometimes an inconvenience.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review. We just wanted to inform you that IdeaBuddy is optimized for smartphones and tablets since last month. You can read more about it here https://ideabuddy.com/blog/ideabuddy-is-now-mobile-friendly/

A Great Platform to Create a Business Plan

I’m glad I found IdeaBuddy when I was looking for a solution to create a business plan. The user-friendliness of IdeaBuddy is outstanding. The fact that its design is very clean, the business plan creation process becomes a simple matter. By following each step, you can be sure that you won’t miss any important aspect of the creation of a good business plan. I especially liked the comprehensive financial planning section. It gives an accurate picture and financial analysis needed to devise an integrated business plan which is, in my opinion, a key element. In conclusion, my experience with IdeaBuddy has been positive, and I recommend it to anyone seeking a comprehensive, easy-to-use business planning tool.

PROS

Ease of use Nice design Well thought out sections, which covers all aspects of creating a business plan

CONS

The exported Business Plan could look a little bit better, but this is only nitpicking
