I'm working on my budget plan and I have a lot to think about. In IdeaBuddy I only enter the necessary data and save time. Working with percentage in budget planning+++ > > **Cons**: There are too many blocked sections while in the trial version. I cannot act as freely as I would like regarding the date when entering expenses in the budget section. I didn't understand what the restriction was based on. > > I am using the trial version. Everything is fine for now, I have a budget plan that I need to complete in a very short time. I have to do it all myself. While I was buried in Excel spreadsheets, IdeaBuddy was an incredible savior\! ----- ### "The perfect business plan for entrepreneurs" — 5.0/5 > **Merle** | *September 16, 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: IdeaBuddy asks all the right question which helped me clarify/define my project to the greatest detail. > > **Cons**: I have not found anything I didn't like. > > I am a future entrepreneur with little experience in creating a Business plan. I have previously used another BP that was full of business jargon and complicated to navigate... hence I scoured the internet to find the right business plan that is user-friendly and offers a "roadmap" and guidance on how to complete each chapter which is where the AI feature comes in handy. IdeaBuddy is exactly that. I will definitely recommend this to new, inexperience entrepreneurs. ----- ### "Fancy design but poor benefit" — 1.0/5 > **Woojin** | *August 25, 2020* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: At the very first sight, I was fascinated about its neat user interface. > > **Cons**: But the user experience it provides is not as good as its design. > > It does not cover business models of fast-growing startups. ----- ### "The Idea Buddy for Brand Strategist, Entrepreneurs, Start-Ups, & Much More\!" — 5.0/5 > **Steven** | *December 15, 2022* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use and the ability to create multiple ideas with premade templates. It even has an idea score to rate your ideas. > > **Cons**: 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. > > It's a great tool. There is a free version. You can try it to believe it. ----- ### "Absolutely fascinating. Financial Projections and Business Planning." — 5.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *February 3, 2022* | Computer Hardware | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/134183/ideabuddy?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/134183/ideabuddy) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
