FAQ
Is Valentino AI a direct LivePlan replacement?
Yes for the planning step on the Pro plan, with the flagship Investor Pitch Deck and Financial Projections reserved for Enterprise. Valentino AI generates business plans alongside 30+ other tools in the same workspace. If your only requirement is a formal plan for a bank, LivePlan is also a fit — but you would pay separately for everything that comes after the plan.
Does Valentino AI have a free plan like LivePlan trials?
Yes. The Free plan gives 20 credits/month and lets you SEE every tool — paid-tier tools show an upgrade CTA when you try to run them. Most validation work and a first business plan can be completed inside the free allowance.
Can I export the business plan as a PDF?
Yes. Plans, decks, and reports export to PDF and DOCX so you can share them with banks, investors, or co-founders.
