For investors
Pre-seedPeople who owe money have little technology on their side.
PlanoQuita is a Brazilian debt payoff app built from the side of the person who owes. It organizes everything the person owes, explains the situation in words, recommends a path with the reason behind it and follows through month by month. None of its revenue comes from creditors.

Thesis
Most debt technology works for the other side.
Credit, collections and settlements make money when the person borrows more or when the creditor gets paid. Tools to understand and plan exist, but they tend to be one-off, generic or limited to the debts that show up on a credit report. PlanoQuita does not make money from credit or from creditors: it makes money when the person sees value in following their own plan. It is an alignment that credit and collection models lack, and it is what sustains trust and retention in the product.
Credit and refinancing

Collections and settlements

Calculators and spreadsheets
Do the math once and do not follow through.

Audience
Who the product was built for.
People starting to get organized
Several debts, some overdue, and the feeling that every choice is wrong. They need clarity and a first step they can take.
People who pay, but at the limit
They keep almost everything current, but the month does not add up. They want to keep the situation from getting worse.
People who want to compare paths
Already organized and wanting to decide better. They compare options and see the effect of each choice before changing the plan.
