Please proofread:

I couldn't tell you as it's just an idea and not something I plan/I've planned to do just yet.

Is there a difference between the two options?

Thank you!

Why isn't present perfect a good fit in the sentence? Doesn't it just mean that I haven't planned to do it just yet?

Why is it better for simple present tense?

Have planned suggests that your planning to to it is a one-time action, which doesn’t make a lot of sense. It would be more natural to say that you have decided to do something and that you now plan to do it.

That’s better than have planned, yes.

You’re still missing a comma.
