Credit Cards for Trials or Not?

[TheWiseGuy]

Apologies if this thread was asked before, combed through a few that were there but they had little or no responses.

Currently running ads and gaining some great traffic to my app, but so far there's no paid converts.

It's a gym logging app and I'm offering a 7 day free trial to new users with NO credit card required upfront.

I'd like some insight from those of you who run paid SAAS/apps as to which direction I should go.

CC upfront would naturally filter out the tyre kickers but result in less overall users, but it may also increase the lead quality in terms of people who actually want to pay.

Another thing I'm looking into is increasing the trial from 7 days to 30 days; doesn't seem like new users really have a chance to experience the value skews I've set up within the app. (I've noticed users logging back in after the 7 day threshold but not logging a workout).

Any and all help would be highly appreciated!
