@wilschroter Would love to know why you decided upon monthly pricing? Very often, business plans are required initially and then for months you don't look at them.. Compare that with something like Business Model Canvas or may be Javelin Board.. where may be the need is relatively more frequent for the first couple of months of a startup.

@shalinjain27 This is a great question. We're not set on monthly pricing, we just started there. We also would like to explore how we can offer the product for free but we have to get a little more data on how folks are using it before we do that. Given the mission of Startups.co to help founders start companies, we are looking for different ways to minimize the barrier to entry to getting started. So we're thinking critically about how pricing works.

@wilschroter you could offer a one time free session that allows the customer to complete a biz plan. Then maybe charge per revision. I know my biz plan changed quite a bit as the model played out. Once the initial work is completed, it would be an easy sell for me.

@wilschroter free trial would get you through core steps then paid plan could unlock additional features (e.g. Printing). Monthly or Unlimited (one-time) pricing could be beneficial? Great product! Can't wait to try it.

@alexchudik darn, I didn't see the 50% off code before I signed up today, but I'll use it for next month. So far I'm impressed and it's making my job of putting together a pitch for a new venture easier! Thanks

@wilschroter sounds great. I think a sandbox area would be great. At least enough to discover it's value.

Hi @wilschroter , Hello @alexchudik , Your new product looks amazing ( [presentation, UI, UX and first impression. Though I have few basic questions. 1. Why is this monthly subscription based? I mean suppose I am a new start-up guy who has ideated a company and now looking for a planned way to document his business idea ( means want to make a business plan), He starts making the plan gradually and finally created an awesome presentable plan in 50 days. Now he is not a serial entrepreneur. He needs to work on building the company, not to create a new plan every new month. then why should he take a monthly subscription of this service/product? Why shouldn't this service/product be charged for per business plan basis, not on the monthly basis? 2. What's are the offline downloadable formats available to export my plan? Like .PDF, .DOC , .HTML etc.? 3. Is there any trial available to actually see how things work inside? Thank you so much. PS: I saw some snapshots of the business plan on your homepage. Visually it looks amazing. Do you have any sample business plan created using BIZPLAN? Please share it with me at niteshmanav@gmail.com

@niteshmanav I sent you an account setup email. The subscription pricing may change over time as we find the best fit for our audience. Like any startup we're balancing LTV vs. lowest possible price point vs. alternate payment models. This is v1. The offline formats are those that you described sans HTML.

How much of this product includes business modeling? I advise startups to understand the model before they create the plan, especially early on.

@davidjbland David we've been thinking a lot about that too. You've got a whole bunch of ways to attack this (business model canvas, etc). The challenge is where to position yourself. Do you get into the ideation portion (which is essentially the canvas) the test/loop portion (lean startup), the pitch deck/funding process, or the culmination to a plan? We started with the plan since it's the most seminal moving part. From there we can incorporate different paths into and out of the plan.

I'm a big fan of Startup.co it seems like whatever these guys come up with is gold. I'm excited to try this. I do have a question, though... how is this better and/different from LivePlan? I'm currently using LivePlan and I'm willing to make the switch but I want to make sure that this is as good, if not better than LivePlan. So, tell me why I should switch. Thanks!

@christian_amougou Thanks so much! We've known the LP folks for a long, long time and they are great folks. So I don't want to spend any time disparaging their products which is often what people with similar/competing products do. Ultimately both products get you a professional plan so the results are similar. Kind of like using MS Word or Google Docs - diff ways to get the same outcome, however you may appreciate one method more than the other.
