PlanHub pricing and PlanHub cost by bid radius
PlanHub sells its paid plan, Premier, by bid radius. A 50 mile radius costs 1,999 USD a year, 100 miles costs 2,349 USD a year and 200 miles costs 3,299 USD a year. Enterprise, for national reach and teams of three or more users, has no listed price. A free profile exists, but it only receives invitations from general contractors and bids inside a local radius.
PlanHub is built for subcontractors who answer general contractors on commercial projects. If part of your work comes from federal solicitations on SAM.gov, the numbers below show what PlanHub costs and where a ranked federal list sits next to it.
How much does PlanHub cost?
PlanHub Premier costs 1,999 USD per year for a 50 mile radius, 2,349 USD per year for 100 miles and 3,299 USD per year for 200 miles. The plan is billed annually. Enterprise adds national reach and is priced by quote. A free profile can receive invitations and bid within a local radius.
| PlanHub plan | What it includes | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Free profile | Direct invitations from general contractors, bidding on projects in a local radius | 0 USD |
| Premier, 50 miles | Unlimited bids, submit to all GCs on a project at once, Project Finder with filters, document downloads, mobile app, US based support, Prequalification Badge | 1,999 USD a year |
| Premier, 100 miles | Same as above across a wider radius | 2,349 USD a year |
| Premier, 200 miles | Same as above across the widest radius | 3,299 USD a year |
| Enterprise | Everything in Premier plus national reach, the whole GC network, dedicated customer care, teams of 3+ users | Quoted, not listed |
These prices come from PlanHub's own pricing page, checked on November 1, 2026. The page does not state a refund or cancellation policy, and the trial length for Premier is not given.
What PlanHub costs a small subcontractor over three years
Because the plan is annual and priced by radius, the real cost is the radius you need to reach the projects you bid.
| Your situation | PlanHub cost | Over 3 years |
|---|---|---|
| Local trade shop, 50 miles | 1,999 USD a year | 5,997 USD |
| Regional shop, 100 miles | 2,349 USD a year | 7,047 USD |
| Regional shop, 200 miles | 3,299 USD a year | 9,897 USD |
| Team of three or more, national | Enterprise, quoted | Not listed |
A shop that bids in two metro areas 150 miles apart ends up on the 200 mile tier, which costs 1,300 USD a year more than the entry plan.
PlanHub compared with other ways to find bids
| Service | What it does best | Published price | Where it falls short |
|---|---|---|---|
| PlanHub | Private and public commercial projects posted by general contractors, bid invitations, one click submission to GCs | From 1,999 USD a year for 50 miles | |
| ConstructConnect | Commercial project finding, plans and takeoff | From 129 USD a month per market and seat, see ConstructConnect pricing | |
| BidNet Direct | State and local bids by region | From about 599 USD a year for one state, see BidNet Direct pricing | |
| Bid Banana | State and local bid search with fit ranking | 479.99 USD a year per person, see Bid Banana pricing | |
| FederalContracts | Federal notices scored out of 100 against your trades, with the reason and the deadline | 129 USD a month or 768 USD a year on Bid Desk, 3 seats |
Where PlanHub wins: it puts a subcontractor in front of the general contractors who are building right now, with invitations and one click bid submission, and its GC directory covers over 55,000 general contractors. Nothing on a federal list replaces that relationship work.
Where it is weaker for federal work: federal jobs are posted by agencies, not general contractors, and a roofing, electrical or paving notice is often a presolicitation with a project number title and a set-aside that decides whether you can bid at all. Our government construction contracts page shows what posts by trade.
What FederalContracts costs instead
FederalContracts does one job for companies whose revenue comes from SAM.gov: it reads every new federal solicitation in full the morning after it posts, scores it out of 100 against your trades, NAICS codes, set-asides and states, and sends the best fits first with the reason for each score.
- Bid Desk, 129 USD a month or 768 USD a year. Federal solicitations, 1 company profile, 3 seats, 5 saved searches, a daily ranked digest, deadline reminders and 3 years of competitor award history.
- Capture, 349 USD a month or 2,088 USD a year. Federal solicitations plus New York City bids from the City Record, 5 business lines, 15 seats and full award history with exports.
Three Bid Desk seats cost 768 USD a year, less than the entry PlanHub Premier plan, and the tools do different jobs. Many subcontractors keep a GC network for commercial work and add a federal list for SAM.gov. The trade pages, government roofing contracts, government electrical contracts and government HVAC contracts, show the notices a federal list catches. Before you sign a subcontract with a general contractor you met through any bid network, run a quick company background check on them. See plans and pricing for every feature.
Is PlanHub free?
PlanHub has a free profile that receives direct invitations from general contractors and lets you bid within a local radius. The full Project Finder, unlimited bids and document downloads sit in Premier, which costs 1,999 USD a year for a 50 mile radius.
Does PlanHub have a free trial?
PlanHub's FAQ says Premier can be evaluated during a trial period, and its calculator notes that no credit card is required for the free trial. The length of the trial is not stated, so ask before you rely on it.
How much is PlanHub for a subcontractor?
For most subcontractors it is 1,999 USD a year for a 50 mile radius, 2,349 USD for 100 miles or 3,299 USD for 200 miles. Teams with three or more users or national needs are quoted on Enterprise. Check your bid radius first, since it sets the price.
Can I cancel PlanHub anytime?
Premier is an annual subscription, and PlanHub's pricing page does not publish a refund or mid-term cancellation rule. Ask for the terms in writing before paying, and use the free profile first to see whether invitations arrive in your trade and area.
What are the alternatives to PlanHub?
For commercial plan rooms, ConstructConnect is the closest. For state and local bids, BidNet Direct and Bid Banana are common. For federal work, a ranked list such as FederalContracts suits trade contractors who bid on SAM.gov solicitations.
