What does the Founding Member offer include?

PlanIt free until 31 December 2026, then 50% off your chosen plan for as long as your subscription stays continuously active. Every update to your plan is included and your price never rises while you stay. Founding Members also have no minimum term, are listed on the site, and get a direct line to the founder.

What does 50% off for the life of the subscription mean?

You pay half the list price of your plan for as long as you stay continuously subscribed — not for a fixed introductory period. The discount is tied to the account: it is not transferable if the business is sold or changes ownership, and it is not reinstated after a cancellation.

I already signed up when PlanIt was free — am I a Founding Member?

Yes. Every account opened before the first hundred places were taken is a Founding Member, so the place is already on your account — free until 31 December 2026, then 50% for as long as your subscription stays active.

The Founding 100 · fully subscribed, closed 1 September 2026

One hundred flooring businesses backed PlanIt early.

Q: Can I still become a PlanIt Founding Member?

No — the Founding 100 is fully subscribed. All 100 places were taken by 1 September 2026 and the offer will not reopen. Every new account still starts with a 7-day free trial of the flooring estimating software. You add a card to start it, and nothing is taken until day 7.

Q: What happens on 1 January 2027?

Your free period ends and your subscription starts at 50% of your plan's list price. There is no minimum term for Founding Members, so you can leave at any point. We will contact you personally before that date rather than simply sending an invoice.

The Founding 100 is complete. All 100 places were taken by 1 September 2026, a month ahead of the back-stop, and the offer is now closed. Founding Members use PlanIt free until 31 December 2026, then pay half price for as long as their subscription stays continuously active. This page stays up as the record of what they signed up to.

0 places left. All 100 Founding Member places are taken.

The offer, as it stood

Three dates, and nothing hidden between them

They opened an account

The first hundred flooring businesses to sign up took the places: no application, no interview, no card. The hundredth place went on 1 September 2026 and the offer closed with it.

Closed 1 September 2026

They use it free

Their whole plan, free until the end of the year, including the paid features on it. Not a stripped-down tier, and no card taken to start.

Until 31 December 2026

Half price, and it stays half price

From January they pay 50% of their plan's list price, for as long as the subscription stays continuously active. Not six months, not a first-year discount.

From 1 January 2027

How it worked

A founding place was claimed by signing up, while there were places left

There was no test to pass and nothing to send in. The hundred places went in the order accounts were opened, and the offer ended when the hundredth one went.

100

places, all taken

The offer closed the moment the hundredth was taken, on 1 September 2026, a month ahead of the 30 September back-stop.

hoops to jump

No application, no interview, no card to start. Open the account and the place was on it.

First come, first served, and the hundred came. A place costs you nothing to take, but it's only worth something if the software earns its keep. If you get a few quotes in and PlanIt still isn't pulling its weight, the honest answer is that something is missing. Tell me what it is.

Who	The first 100 flooring businesses to open an account. The offer closed when the hundredth place was taken on 1 September 2026, ahead of the 30 September back-stop, and it will not reopen.
Free period	Free until 31 December 2026, on your whole plan.
Then	50% off your chosen plan, for as long as the subscription stays continuously active.
Updates	Every update to your plan is included, and your price never rises while you stay subscribed.
Minimum term	None. Everyone else commits to three months; Founding Members don't. Leave whenever you like.
Status	Founding Member: listed on the site, a direct line to me, and first look at everything new.
Not transferable	The discount is tied to the account. It doesn't pass on if the business is sold or changes ownership.
Not reinstated	If you cancel, the founding rate ends with the subscription. Rejoining later is at the list price.
Not every future module	Modules built later (tender comparison, value engineering, the customer portal) are priced separately for everyone, Founding Members included. "Every update to your plan" is a real promise; "every future thing we ever build" wouldn't be.

If you joined when PlanIt was free

You'll have seen the site say PlanIt was free to the trade, and now it says there are plans with prices on. So let me be straight about what changed and what it means for you.

I built PlanIt for our own flooring business and opened it up because it seemed daft not to. The plan then was that the business would be funded another way. That route is no longer the one I'm taking. I'd rather PlanIt answered to the people using it than to a supplier or a distributor, and the only honest way to do that is for the trade to pay for it. Not much, and not before it's earned.

So: if you signed up while PlanIt was free, your founding place is already on your account, because every early account was inside the first hundred. Free until the end of the year, half price after that, for as long as you stay. Nothing to claim and nothing to do.

If you're one of the businesses already shaping the roadmap, I'd rather have this conversation on the phone than through a web page. Ring me or drop me a line and we'll sort out where you stand.

Founding Member questions

Can I still claim a place?

No. All 100 places were taken by 1 September 2026 and the offer has closed. It won't reopen. Every new account still starts with a 7-day free trial: you add a card to start it, and nothing is taken until day 7. The plans are on the pricing page.

What does "50% off for the life of the subscription" actually mean?

You pay half your plan's list price for as long as you stay continuously subscribed: not for six months, not for a first year. If you cancel, the founding rate ends with the subscription and isn't reinstated if you come back. It's also tied to the account rather than to you, so it doesn't transfer if the business is sold.

Do I have to give a card to start?

Yes. You add a card when you start your 7-day free trial, and nothing is taken until day 7. Cancel in the app before then and you pay nothing. If you're inside the first hundred you're free through to 31 December 2026 anyway.

Am I locked in?

Less than anyone else. Everyone else commits to a three-month minimum; Founding Members have no minimum term at all, and you cancel in the app. It seemed wrong to ask the people who backed it earliest to commit to March at the exact moment their free period ends.

I already signed up when it was free. Am I automatically in?

Yes. Every account opened before the hundredth place went is a Founding Member, and that includes everyone who joined while PlanIt was free. The place is already on your account, with nothing to claim. If you're not sure where you stand, email me and I'll check your account and tell you straight.

What happens on 1 January 2027?

Your free period ends and your subscription starts at half your plan's list price. You'll hear from me personally before that date rather than just getting an invoice, and with no minimum term, if it isn't working for you, you can walk.

Will you reopen this later?

No. It closed at 100 members on 1 September 2026, and reopening it later would devalue the badge for the people who earned it. There may be other offers in future; this one won't come back.

Missed the hundred? The software's the same.

The founding rate is gone, but nothing else is: every new account starts on a 7-day Estimating trial with nothing taken until day 7, and the plans are priced for a real shop's week. Raise three quotes and you'll know.
