PlanForge

What PlanForge is

PlanForge is web software for preparing business plans and investor materials with live market research. Before generating a plan, it searches five areas: market size, funding rounds, competitors, regulation and buyer sentiment. Its 18 listed outputs include a business plan, pitch deck, financial model, competitor matrix, investor Q&A, valuation and market intelligence. The three-year profit and loss model uses editable assumptions and Bear, Base and Bull scenarios that recalculate when inputs change. PlanForge says it covers more than 130 countries and supports 12 languages. The Starter plan gives users five research streams and previews of the first three sections, alongside a deck, SWOT, score and market intelligence. Complete plans and all 18 outputs are available through paid options. The site positions PlanForge for founders raising £50K to £50M and also offers an Agency plan for consultants, accelerators and advisors. Business details are sent to Anthropic’s Claude API for plan generation and live research. PlanForge says users can delete plans from the dashboard or delete their account in settings. Its terms caution that generated material may be inaccurate and that live market data should be checked independently.

Who it suits

PlanForge suits founders preparing investor materials, particularly those raising £50K to £50M. Its Agency plan is for consultants, accelerators and advisors who need client workspaces and team collaboration.

Limits

Starter is free forever and includes a preview of the first three sections, but not a full plan, financial model, funding landscape or PDF export. Single Plan costs 29.99 GBP once; Pro costs £49 a month, and Agency costs £149 a month. Generated content may contain inaccuracies, and live market data should be independently verified.

Getting started

1. Open the PlanForge website in a web browser.
2. Start with the free Starter plan, or choose a paid plan for complete outputs.
3. Enter business details for plan generation and live research.
4. Use the dashboard to access or delete plans.

Verdict

Choose PlanForge if you need business planning materials built around live market research, with editable financial scenarios and multiple outputs. Look elsewhere if you need a full plan, financial model or PDF export on the free Starter tier, or if you need team collaboration.
