The Complete Plan lists five-year projections, monthly cash flow, a projected balance sheet and income statement, break-even analysis, and an interactive dashboard. Users can request AI revisions, share plans through public or private links, and export plans and financial charts as PDFs. Explorer costs nothing. AI Agent costs $10 a month, billed monthly without commitment. Complete Plan costs C$99 as a one-time purchase and includes lifetime access.
