Upmetrics
Upmetrics is the most complete business-planning platform for founders and small businesses, walking users through writing, financial modeling, and pitch decks with an AI writing assistant that auto-writes sections of the plan. It starts at $14/month, making it a strong budget pick with AI included.
LivePlan
LivePlan, at $20/month, wins on financial depth, making it the better choice for founders who need detailed financial modeling and forecasting alongside the narrative plan.
PlanSnack and Bizplanr
