The mean exactly the same thing and are both correct. "I don't have a plan," is more common, at least in the US.

"She has been eating noodles".
In this sentence, have is an auxiliary verb.
We use "have" as an auxiliary verb in perfect tense forms.
"She has a daughter."
In this sentence, have is the main verb.
When "have" is the main verb, you can use "do" with the negative form.
"She doesn't have a daughter."
It's not incorrect to use "haven't", either.
"I don't have any money"
"I haven't any money."
