IdeaBuddy
Paid
Business planning software for shaping, testing, and planning startup ideas.
O que é IdeaBuddy?
IdeaBuddy is business-planning software that guides entrepreneurs from an initial concept through idea assessment, financial projections, and a written business plan. Its workflow combines an idea-development guide, a one-page business model canvas, validation tools, financial planning, and a plan builder. AI assistance can suggest and refine content, while generated templates provide starting structures tailored to business ideas.
O que IdeaBuddy pode fazer?
Idea Plan canvas
Arrange the elements of an early-stage business model on a single page. The canvas is editable and can be shared or exported.
Idea validation
On the Founder plan, take a validation test to assess feasibility, challenge assumptions, and identify areas that need further work.
Financial projections
Build financial forecasts, including profit-and-loss projections and cash-flow estimates, with monthly, quarterly, or yearly summaries.
Business plan builder
On the Founder plan, build a business plan as you complete the guided planning steps, then customize its appearance and included sections.
AI assistance and templates
Use AI for tailored suggestions, writing and grammar assistance, tone adjustments, and estimates for revenue and expenses. AI-generated templates are tailored to the business idea.

Perguntas frequentes
Can I use IdeaBuddy for free indefinitely?
The free account is a 15-day trial with no credit card required. It includes one idea, one collaborator and 10 AI requests, with limited Canvas, Guide and Financial Plan access. Continuing the planning workspace after the trial requires a paid Dreamer or Founder subscription.
Which plan includes the full business plan and validation?
Founder includes the Business Plan builder and validation test. Dreamer covers the earlier planning tools. Idea and collaborator capacity varies with the subscription configuration; collaborators can be invited to view or edit planning work.
What can I export?
Export the Canvas and Business Plan to PDF or Word, and financial reports to Excel. Sharing links are also supported. Export and sharing access depends on the plan.
How do AI requests work?
AI is available on all plans, including the trial, with a request limit. Included credits follow the plan duration and refill each billing cycle. Extra purchased credits have no expiry and are used before subscription credits.
Are AI forecasts verified business advice?
AI suggests draft text, templates and estimates; it can produce inaccurate or unsuitable results. Review the business assumptions, revenue, costs and cash-flow figures before using them in a plan. The Terms state that inputs supplied to ChatGPT are shared with OpenAI.
How are paid subscriptions billed and cancelled?
Paid subscriptions are billed in advance monthly or annually and renew automatically. VAT may be added by country. After cancellation, access lasts through the paid period; the pricing FAQ says ideas are kept for one month after it ends.
Can I resell the platform or its content?
The service licence is personal, non-commercial, non-transferable and cannot be resold or distributed. IdeaBuddy does not claim ownership of the business ideas and other content you upload; you remain responsible for having the necessary rights to uploaded material.
