Ghost CEO vs BoardroomIQ
BoardroomIQ is an affordable demo of the concept. Ghost CEO is the scale-up: the same executive personas, but connected to your real data, with a quantified weekly Signal and a fixed €497/month price. $20/month to debate, €497/month to execute — that is the choice.
What it actually is
BoardroomIQ is a boardroom simulator: avatars that debate each other to produce "strategic advice", billed by word volume.
Who it is for
The curious and solopreneurs who want to experiment with the virtual leadership meeting concept for a few dollars.
What it does not do
- Simulation, not execution: avatars debate, nobody monitors your real data.
- No data connections (Stripe, CRM, ads): generic advice based on your prompts.
- Billed by word volume: cost explodes with usage.
- No consolidated actionable deliverable, no recommendation traceability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do BoardroomIQ and Ghost CEO do the same thing?
The same principle (executive avatars thinking about your strategy), not the same mechanics: BoardroomIQ generates debates from your prompts, Ghost CEO analyzes your connected data and produces an action plan. A simulator gives opinions; an executive system monitors and acts.
Why pay €497 when simulators cost $20?
Because the problem is not getting an opinion — it is having someone monitor your numbers continuously and alert you. At $20/month, nobody reads your data, nobody warns you when cash flow drifts, nobody challenges your decisions with facts. That is exactly what the Ghost CEO executive team does.
Is word-based pricing a problem with BoardroomIQ?
For heavy usage, yes: word tiers burn fast when every decision deserves a simulation. Ghost CEO has a fixed price per engagement — €497/month, unlimited usage, connected data included.
