Excellent tool!
I already had my business plan ready, but I knew it could be better. IdeaBuddy has proved me right!! Just under 24hrs, filing the blanks on IdeaBuddy, my business plan is totally ready for submission. A process that would normally take me weeks! Thanks so much for this product team! I’m glad I jumped on it!

Amazing tool
Perfect timing—exactly what I needed! This tool made it simple to create a business plan using templates and clear steps. It’s excellent for forecasting finances over time and helped me define expected revenue and expenses for the next five years. The tool is user-friendly, and what I appreciated most is that it allows setting start and end periods for projecting revenue and expenses across various timelines, with options for percentage or numerical increases in sales figures or values. Submitting a business plan TOMORROW thanks to IdeaBuddy!!

Non ti permette di dimenticarti praticamente nulla del tuo progetto e l'integrazione dell'AI aiuta molto ad evitare fastidiosi mal di testa
Lo sto testando da poco, ma per quanto mi riguarda ha due caratteristiche molto importanti:
1) Ti evita di dimenticarti "qualcosa" e ti fa ragionare ulteriormente sulla tua idea, cosa che non fa mai male fare;
2) L'intelligenza artificiale integrata ti aiuta in molte sfaccettature, senza stravolgere l'idea, ma anzi la ritrae in modo più elegante e completo di quanto lo possiamo fare persino noi stessi.

Amazing software
I was looking for a solution that would help me put my business ideas on paper to understand their feasibility. Idea Buddy is the perfect ally. I had tried other similar solutions and was a little discouraged because AI is not always able to work correctly on startup ideas, but IdeaBuddy changed my mind. Really great software.

Exceptional Value
IdeaBuddy Is exceptional value, especially for the entrepreneur.
Writing a business can be a painful exercise, not with IdeaBuddy. Logical sequence from start to finish, and even an idea validator upon completion. What's not to like, grab a subscription now, you can thank me later!

Great experience so far
I just started using Ideabuddy and so far it is indeed a buddy for ideas.
Following the steps that were indicated I noticed that much if the narrative was filled out (I guess based on the canvas). Which is great as it makes you rethink about / reflect on the idea.
Being able to see financial information is a big plus. So far I'm very happy.
4 stars because I just started using it but the experience is great.

I liked it a LOT
I got 4 codes to get up to 10 ideas.
For now I have only used it for my own marketing agency business, and I liked it a lot. Even when I suppose Chat GPT or any other AI can accomplish this, what I love of IdeaBuddy is that is already built for that important (if not vital), business plan / idea.
Highly recommend to give it a try.

The best tool in AppSumo
The tool is designed from start to finish so you can get the most out of it.
I've been testing business plan tools for a long time, and this is by far the best. I'm eager to see the evolution and new updates.

Idea but he has been pretty amazing so far. I don't know if we're going to use all the features of it but it certainly helped me really focus on our ideal customer profiles and our products and service offerings. Definitely worth the money so far.

Only 1 idea per code? Sounds expensive for a deal on a LTD website
I was excited to try IdeaBuddy because the concept of having a structured platform to develop business ideas really appealed to me. However, I was surprised to find that each code only allows you to work on one idea. For a tool marketed to aspiring entrepreneurs and creatives, many of whom typically juggle multiple ideas at once, this feels incredibly restrictive.
For a LTD, this limitation seems more like a paid trial than a truly generous offer. LTD buyers are usually early adopters who support products in their growth phase, so it would make more sense to offer at least 3-5 ideas per code. That would feel far more aligned with the spirit of helping ideas take shape.
Additionally, I found the interface and user flow to be a bit more complex than expected only up to a certain extent though.
Overall, IdeaBuddy has potential, but right now it feels too limited and slightly overwhelming for users who are just looking for an easy way to get their ideas off the ground. This being an AI alternative I was expecting a little more based on the listing details. A bit more flexibility and simplicity could make this a real winner but as for now I felt like I wasted my time trying this tool because it did not reach my expectations.

Apr 22, 2025Thank you for your feedback! Just a quick note - by redeeming 4 AppSumo codes, you get access to 10 idea slots (projects), and you can invite up to 10 collaborators. Also, unlike many similar tools, we do not limit our users when it comes to deleting old projects and creating new ones. You can do that as often as you like, with no restrictions.
Sorry to hear you had trouble navigating the platform. We designed the interface to be simple and user-friendly, especially for first-time entrepreneurs. That is actually one of the reasons why IdeaBuddy has been selected as the best business planning tool for ideation by Forbes, now third year in a row.

an AI-based tool that helps you shape your business idea and a bit more
it's like having a personal consultant at your fingertips telling you "look, these are the steps to take, in this order. and the fact that at each step you have to stop a little bit and think, forces you to do a bit of "business introspection". you face difficulties to do it alone or your idea is in a very early stage, there is the AI assistant that accompanies you at every single step. I think it's very cool how AI is implemented. even if your idea is vague or in a rudimentary form, this AI assistant gives you suggestions on how to formulate it better. I think it's a big plus. nothing stops you from comparing the results with what another AI assistant delivers, if you want to refine your idea segments. of course, the question arises if you really need such a tool. I would say it's a valuable tool for an entrepreneur, not only because it brings structure to the whole process of designing your business solution, but also for the quality of the suggestions provided by the integrated AI assistant. a bonus, as a differentiator, is the whiteboard that facilitates a collaborative interaction with your team members, so an enabler for more creativity.

Great structured UI
As a new user I’m impressed by the light, intuitive interface and structured approach to business planning. The integration between financial and business plans saves time, and collaboration features enable easy feedback sharing. However, the AI could offer more personalized insights, and better integrations with other tools. A dedicated mobile app and industry-specific templates would be amazing. On the whole, IdeaBuddy is powerful and beginner-friendly for turning ideas into actionable plans.

Perfect for creating a quick and simple business plan, even with no prior experience
As someone with limited time and experience in business plan development, finding a tool that simplifies the process has been a relief.
The platform has a very intuitive interface that allowed me to get started quickly, with no prior knowledge required. In addition, its guided templates helped me structure my business plan step by step, making the process much clearer.
Despite being a novice, I was able to personalize the plan with ease and adjust each section according to my ideas. The examples and recommendations within the app provided the guidance I needed to refine my approach without wasting time on technical details.
Although the system is easy to use, I think more advanced users might look for additional customization options, but for me, someone who doesn’t have much time to invest in this task, it has been more than enough.
In short, IdeaBuddy is an excellent tool for those looking to create a functional business plan without any hassle.

So far so good.
A very neat tool to let entrepreneur map out their imagination before they start. With a very nice UI. The only thing that set me back a bit is the currency limitation is staying at 9 figures. Does that mean IdeaBuddy assume that we cannot make a business more than 9 figures lol
