PassoQ: I read your limits are quite restrictive on this deal and the only way to increase is to buy more on your ...
website, but even then, your highest plan is not unlimited. For someone who helps others in for-profit and not-for -profit organizations, even your 30 ideas (lifetime) is pretty limiting.
My questions are:
1. Can ideas be archived to make room for a new one just like Liveplan, which you compare yourself to, allows?
2. If yes, can archived plans (ideas) be reactivated as long as the number of active ideas is in check?
3. When is your idea validation coming live? I keep reading "coming soon", but how soon is that?
4. How is ideabuddy different or better than Liveplan?(features and functionality wise)
Thanks
Hi there,
If you want to have more than 30 ideas or need more than one account, we also have a tailor-made Enterprise plan.
You can send us your request at contact@ideabuddy.com, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
We don't have an option to archive ideas, but we offer a lower price per idea/plan than Liveplan.
Regarding the Validation tool - it is expected to be out in Q3 this year.
There are several reasons why our app is a better option compared to Liveplan, but let me name a few:
- IdeaBuddy is offering you more ways to work on your idea compared to Liveplan (e.g., Business Guide, Idea Plan, and also we have more interesting features coming soon, like Idea Validation)
- We started adding templates and custom guides for the most popular ideas to help you plan your business faster - more to come.
- Much better value for money - $178 for the lifetime offer with 3 projects/ideas (IdeaBuddy) vs. $180/year for only one project/plan (Liveplan)
- IdeaBuddy is more fun 😀
Here is a blog article that explains all the advantages compared to Liveplan. Feel free to check it out. https://ideabuddy.com/blog/liveplan-alternatives/
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. I'll be happy to answer.
Best regards,
Sonja
Well, thanks for the reply. I am just still concerned about your idea limits. You say that liveplan has only one idea for 180/year. But you can archive that idea and create new ones, as long as the other ones are archived. Then whenever you need to pull up one idea, you just need to bring it back...so technically I can do as many as I want.
Ideabuddy doesn't even give the possibility of archiving.
1. Can I at least delete an existing idea to make room for a new one?
2. Will all future updates and upgrades be free for lifetime subscription holders?
Thanks for replying faster than the first time. Slow response times make me wonder about your customer service.
Hi,
The number of ideas included in a plan is the number of active business ideas (idea slots).
It means that for each active idea, you can create an Idea Plan, Business Guide, Financial Plan, and Business Plan.
If you have, for example, 3 ideas in your plan, you can any time delete one of the active ideas from the used slots and create new ones,
so you will always have up to 3 active ideas at a time.
Future updates are free for the plan that you select.
We apologize for the late response.
Kind regards,
Sonja
