Why is LivePlan so Different from Business Plan Pro Premier?

So I have Business Plan Pro Premier (the most current version) but am tired of running it in a virtual machine on the Mac so decided to move the plan to the web version, LivePlan.

The FAQ says that you can not import but can cut and paste. Problem is the that the sections do not match up at all. Looks like LivePlan has a completely different format and that the step by step help on the web version is not up to the same level as the Windows version.

Why are they so much different?  It concerns me because I wanted a format that would be the most usable to me and investors. I am now unsure.

Thanks for the question. Business Plan Pro Premier has gone through numerous upgrades over the years and remains the market leader. However we have a growing number of customers who wanted a slightly different proposition - a 'simpler plan' that can be produced in a much faster time period, that can be accessed from multiple computers and facilitates collaboration. So rather than simply replicate Business Plan Pro Premier online we felt a product more suited to ongoing planning and business management would be more attractive to many of our customers. Of course it still retains many of the same features of Business Plan Pro Premier (incl an ability to customise the outline). An additional feature of Liveplan is the fact we can push regular updates to constantly improve the product in response to customer requests (unlike Business Plan Pro Premier where release cycles were annual). I encourage you to use the feedback button within Liveplan to request any features you feel are missing at present.
