Our Story

It started with a few questions we didn't have answers to: How much do we need for retirement? How much are we missing? Can we stop working earlier?
When we asked around, we quickly realized we weren't alone. Friends, colleagues, people who were closer to retirement – everyone was saving for later. But hardly anyone had a clear plan for their future.
The existing solutions didn't convince us: confusing spreadsheets, online calculators with hidden assumptions, and expensive financial advice without any real flexibility. We were missing something that gave us a clear, honest, and complete picture of where we really stand.
That's why, in 2023, we started building the tool we would have wanted for ourselves.

No external investors

Real value.
No hidden agenda.

Many financial tools are funded by product sales, commissions, or lead generation. That influences what gets shown to users.

We deliberately chose a different model. Self-funded. No investors. No commissions. No affiliations with banks, insurers, or asset managers.

Planaberry is free to use. If it proves genuinely valuable to you, upgrading is optional. So our only incentive is this: to build something that truly helps people.

Our Values

Clarity

Retirement planning is complex. We make it understandable – visually, linguistically, structurally. No jargon without explanation.

Independence

No products. No commissions. No recommendations. Just your plan, in your hands.

Empowerment

Planaberry thinks with you, not for you. You stay in control. We give you the tools to plan independently.

Meet the Team

For a long time, we didn't know whether we were doing enough for retirement.

Planaberry is the result of our desire to understand our own situation and to help others do the same.

Why "Planaberry"?

Finance and numbers don't exactly scream fun, but they don't have to feel dry and intimidating either. We wanted a name that reflects the core of what we do – planning for the future – but with a fresher, more modern and approachable vibe. Planaberry combines that idea of thoughtful planning with a touch of lightness and nature. A calmer, friendlier name for when you're thinking about something as important as your retirement.
