How to Get a Planhub Free Trial With a Virtual Credit Card

Computer software has revolutionized every industry over the last half-century or so. Besides, today's SaaS (Software as a Service) makes it easier for users to access most software programs via the internet using a web browser. Usually, the software owner will require people to pay or subscribe to the SaaS plan before gaining access. Planhub is SaaS that is transforming the construction industry.

Launched in 2015, Planhub is a cloud-based software for general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers in the construction industry. The software enables general contractors to post projects and subcontractors/suppliers to bid for them. Typically, this is how Planhub works:

  1. General contractors post projects on Planhub. They can as well invite specific subcontractors to bid for projects.
  2. Subcontractors can view open projects (depending on the subscription plan) and bid.
  3. Suppliers can also view and bid on available projects.

Avoid Automatic Renewal With DoNotPay Virtual Credit Card

Many service companies cannot allow you to start your free trial without keying in your credit card details. This is especially true for services that offer limited-time free trials, for example, one week, two weeks, 30 days, etc. But here is the catch; they know a significant percentage of people on a free trial can easily forget to cancel the subscription before the free trial expiry date, and thus end up paying for a service they probably won't need or use. Therefore, all they want is to take your hard-earned money. But we have a solution for you, virtual credit cards.

DoNotPay's free virtual credit card allows you to get free trials and never get charged. Here is how the credit card works:

  • DoNotPay generates random and valid credit card details that you can use to start your free service.
  • When the free trial period expires, you won't be charged as there will be no funds on the virtual credit card. And also, the virtual card is not linked to your bank account.

Furthermore, if you have free subscriptions that you have already linked to your real credit card, we can help you cancel them. We'll contact the service company on your behalf and request that they cancel your subscription.
