FAQ
Is Valentino AI a direct LivePlan replacement?
Yes for the planning step. Valentino AI generates business plans alongside 35+ other tools on the same pay-as-you-go credit balance — no subscription, and every tool is available to every account. 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. Every account starts with 20 free credits and can run any of the 35+ tools — nothing is gated or preview-only. Most validation work and a first business plan fit inside the free credits; after that you top up at $1 = 10 credits.
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.
