It’s super thorough, and it takes the fuss out of organizing your business plan. It’s like having a business coach in your pocket. What I really love is the “profitability” status on your dashboard. It says to me that your business idea is not profitable until your business strategy says that it will be. Until then, you’re just excited about the potential, and we can’t pay bills with “potential”. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! We want Monét to be simple to use and insightful and are pleased to hear that it is accomplishing that for you. Thank you for letting us know! ### 5/5 — Monét is Simply Amazing! *2023-11-19* I’ve built multiple successful businesses and have even more ideas locked in my head or scribbled in my journal. I’ve never had a tool that’s as simple but robust as Monét to get these ideas out of my head, then test them to see which ones are worth it. I’m really stoked because in the first & shortest time ever, I was able to clearly document my ideas, run the numbers, test multiple scenarios for this SAAS concept that I’ve been thinking about for nearly a year! Now we’re in initial development mode for the product! If you are an ideas-person, run a business, or want to start any kind of business someday - whether it’s tiny, larger or small - you must have “Monet” in your pocket! :) It doesn’t do full scale major business planing, but to be honest, you really don’t need that lengthy / tedious process just to get your business idea out of your head and begin testing it in real life. This app is brilliant and long overdue!! **Developer response:** Thank you! We are pleased to know that Monét is helpful to you. This is what we hoped for. Thanks for letting us know! ## Frequently asked questions about Monét ### What is Monét used for?
