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

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.

Not multilingual. Spanish is critical for our customers.

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.

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

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

Overall positive and I will keep using it!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Simple to use It guides you step by step in order to develop your idea Good price Stable New features time to time Best tool i hace seen for CF protections

I have not encountered any issues. So far so good

Easy to set up, really understand plan. I like that you can copy plans, share plans. So many great intuitive features including syncing with business model canvas.

Non functioning formulas on excel export. This is not investor facing.

It's simple, easy and fun to use as a planning tool for both the business and our business ideas. Love it!

As co-director of a small business, most of our time is spent bringing in the business and doing the doing. With the best intentions in the world, planning rapidly and regularly moves down the priority list. However, whilst we're still not perfect, IdeaBuddy has made the whole process incredibly simple and easy for us.

What's not to like? If I could change one thing, it would be to include collaborators in the free version.

My experience until now has been highly positive

I love the way it structures together all the needed pieces for a non-professional to produce a respectable business plan.

So far, have nothing negative to say about IdeaBuddy

It helps to summarise the idea of a person without experience. It's easier to fill out the forms and to think about the idea.

Trial is quite short. It would be great to be able to share the idea with friends.

Fantastic, easy and of real value to me. Very excited to recommend to anyone.

I love the elegantly simple design. So rare today.

As all new products there are things you would like and the company has been fast to acknowledge ideas.

I found IdeaBuddy this year and have since been able to make more concrete decisions about my business, propose more confidently to investors, and feel a sense of peace about the direction I'm heading. Wish I had found IdeaBuddy sooner!

The Financial Plan tool is what I appreciate most about the software. It has the ability to create multiple-year financial projections and make adjustments by year. I also love the design style. It's user-friendly and even cute! I look forward to logging on and noodling around on IdeaBuddy because every time, I discover new possibilities for my business. Previously, I was using book-keeping software for financial projections, a business planning software for my strategy and pitching to investors, and a project management tool for my ideations. Now I can integrate them all in one place and even run different specs on multiple project ideas!

On the Founder plan, the limit is 3 ideas, which is a challenge for an entrepreneur/artist like myself. Yet doubling my monthly fee to upgrade to 30 projects doesn't make sense for me either. I have various arms to my business and would like to be able to create more projects without having to delete projects or upgrade.

Excellent because it is very comprehensive in planning details albeit in summary form.

The design of the canvass is more informative than the regular canvasses on the market. This canvas leads you through all the necessary information to get you going and to keep coming back to be sure you are staying focused.

At this time I feel the product is feature rich and doesn't need much more. Less is more and feature creep can be the downfall of a good basic product. Perhaps there could be access to more resources to help with each of the categories!

It works fast and it is easy to use. Again, I used business planning software before.

I have business ideas all the time and I write most of them down but rarely take action beyond that. With IdeaBuddy I can quickly explore my idea and evaluate it. I keep working on those that look promising and discard bad ideas. I am impressed with the level of detail and depth of guidance of this product. I used different business planning software before but this is different- combines cutting edge latest frameworks (business model canvas) with essential business planning tools (financials). So awesome!

If is a comprehensive tool and it takes a bit more time to fully develop the idea then I would want to invest sometimes. But that’s also a good filter for ideas - tests how passionate you really are about an idea.

Wouldn’t have gone for another app is the best user experience I’ve had in a long time.

Everything is given to you in manner that you don’t have break your head it’s really that simple.

My overall experience with IdeaBuddy is great and I would really recommend it to anybody who is developing their idea as it gives you plenty of options to write down and build your idea and there is a really good connection between Business Model Mode and Story Mode.

Product is very user-friendly and easy to use and I like it that it gives you two options to develop your idea - one standard in the form of a BMC and second through the story mode. While I find business model set-up necessary to write all the parameters down, I found Story Mode even more useful as my business idea is client-orientated so this option helped me imagine through which possible steps clients will go.

I wouldn't say I found any cons, rather it is something that confuses me - When creating a new idea you can either choose from pre-configured Business set-ups or create your own and when choosing between these two option I would wish to have a bit more explanation what each one of these two options will give me.

As a CEO I most write about business plan and similar things.

I like the feature that I can easily generate and edit stuffs. That's great

Sometimes you have choose category for your search to be affective

It has always worked, never closed or crashed and I like the instructional videos, especially the ones explaining step by step the features. I'm hoping for unit economics to be more detailed and for the possibility to get educational content on building a startup or a project. Content such as handling the mentors, partners, interns, and investors. Or hoe to grow presence online for free. I think this is for sure a tool that can grow well on the educational side to allow people to try new ideas in a fun way.

User-friendly and sleek design. Makes want to work on my projects. I find useful to have different ways to see the information since I like visual formats and my teammates like more descriptive documents.

I am waiting for the validation area of this product. I think this is something very useful for starups to follow up on their experiments and have all outcomes in one place.

I love how this tool guides you through the entire business plan journey, rather than making me create endless google docs with convoluted sections. It's simple, pushes you along in a very supportive way and asks you the questions that really stress test an idea to ensure it's a good one. Literally everything is covered, from market research and competitor analysis to SWOT and PEST, with many other sections in between. Once you complete one, it's off to the next one, in a really fun and simple way. The overall report is great for internal company use, but also fantastic to give investors.

Nothing so far, as it delivers what it says it does. Future ideas could include a 'resource centre' that shows all the tools entrepreneurs use to bring their ideas to life, as this would help newbies making their plans.

With Ideabuddy, i was able to easily generate my y1 financial projections, costs, profits etc which really helped me out

Ideabuddy is a very useful and very to use for the business. Its most impactful feature is its financial plan which helps in having the approximate projections for the business financials.

Umm.. Ideabuddy needs to update the software a little bit for it's lag while loading the financial plan and editing the details.

It is a good experience, I would highly recommend it for someone who is facing his first project or has a small working team or

It was very intuitive, always guiding you through the business plan and so

The lack of better and deeper examples on each area

It's a great tool. There is a free version. You can try it to believe it.

The ease of use and the ability to create multiple ideas with premade templates. It even has an idea score to rate your ideas.

I am big on the Blue Ocean Strategy as it is at least the bridge from strategy to brand implementation for me. It just goes hand to hand.

I would recommend it to anyone who needs detailed planning for their future business. Very easy to use with relevant examples.

Very useful tool especially part for financial planning. It helps to get fast pojection for finnance of your future business.

It may need to expand the choice of business models for start-ups.

It's very easy to use. It's very toughtfull on the design of your plan It let's you develop almost everything on trial

Actually the interface is very intuitive and sometimes, chooses a path which you wouldn't but must follow in order to keep going on the progress of your process.

Overall, a wonderful experience with this product. I dont really have any complaints, and have actually recommended IdeaBuddy to a few friends. If you are like me and like compartmentalizing different tasks and having things laid out in an organized, easy to view and navigate manner then this product is great for you. If you dont mind clutter or very linear visuals, then you dont really need this product.

Great layout Multiple Products Good Visualization

Pricing Tiers (not a bad price, but I wish there were more options than the 3 tier LTD)
