LivePlan vs Moov
Side-by-side trajectory, velocity, and editorial themes.
LivePlan rebuilds the plan editor and lets you feed it your own files for AI context.
Two structural moves anchor the period. In late January, LivePlan launched a fully reimagined plan editor — modern templates, custom themes, real-time collaboration with comments, flexible images/charts/tables, and contextual AI writing — and shipped a beta that lets users import notes, spreadsheets, and research so the AI builds on actual business context. Earlier, the forecast editor was rebuilt with a sleeker layout and inline forecast-vs-actuals comparison, and forecast items can now be organized into groups for clearer revenue/cost rollups.
LivePlan is methodically replacing every legacy editor in the product — first forecasting, then the plan itself — and wiring AI more deeply into each. The reference-files beta is the more telling move: it pulls user context into the model rather than relying on generic templates, which is the only way AI authoring becomes useful for a real lender-facing plan. Together it's a clean shift from "template + spreadsheet" toward "AI co-author with your data."
Expect the reference-files beta to graduate and expand to more file types (PDFs, accounting exports), with deeper agentic suggestions that pull numbers and competitive notes directly into the plan. The forecast and plan editors converging — shared collaboration, shared AI writing — is the next natural step.
Moov rounds out its wallet coverage with Google Pay, completing a contactless-and-wallets push that began with Tap to Pay.
Moov is executing a clear payments-coverage expansion. In the last few months the platform has added Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android, Google Pay support, HSA/FSA/HRA healthcare benefit card processing, tipping for payment links, scheduled and recurring transfers in the Dashboard, instant-bank-credit with RTP (FedNow coming), and resolution links for stalled onboarding. Underneath, the team has rationalized API versioning (deprecating 'latest', shipping quarterly versions) and added partner billing and invoicing primitives.
Moov is positioning to be the single API a vertical SaaS or platform business needs for accepting and disbursing money across rails, devices, and merchant categories. Each release closes a coverage gap: a wallet, a card class, a settlement rail, a regulated vertical. The MCP docs server and OIDC SSO show parallel investment in developer and enterprise ergonomics. Expect continued rail/wallet coverage work (FedNow on instant-bank-credit is already telegraphed) and more verticalized merchant features.
Next likely moves: FedNow lighting up on instant-bank-credit, additional wallet support (Samsung Pay or regional wallets), and depth in either healthcare or another regulated vertical now that HSA/FSA processing is live. A pricing or packaging clarification around partner billing is overdue given how many recent features touch fees.
