LinkedIn Premium Reviews

Pros

It delivers a lot of useful information and has been very informative overall.

Cons

The only downside is that the number of profile view credits feels too limited.

Pros

Among professional networking platforms, this one stands out as the best option for professionals.

Cons

I don't really have any complaints about the premium features though there's always room to make it better. It would be even more useful with additional tools that help me and other professionals get noticed more by recruiters and the wider community.

Pros

Having access to LinkedIn Learning has been a really valuable part of using the platform.

Cons

One frustrating limitation is that you still can't view contacts, even after paying for it.

Pros

The interface feels well organized and properly structured which makes the software pleasant to use.

Cons

At times, understanding how the algorithm works can still be a bit confusing.

Pros

Business Premium feels essential for small business owners and agency owners.

Cons

LinkedIn Learning is included with Premium and it gives you free access to online courses and training programs that can help you build and improve your skills.

Pros

Job insights, company insights and learning platform really help me stay ahead and give me an edge over others.

Cons

There's not much to complain about. One thing I'd still want is job alerts that match my relevance better. It would also be useful if it could show my resume directly to HR teams who may be interested in the skills I have.

Pros

Getting it gave me really helpful insights, like seeing who viewed my profile and discovering open roles that matched my current skill set, along with several other useful features.

Cons

Honestly I can't think of anything about the paid features that I disliked. They've been very helpful overall.

Pros

Biggest benefit is getting access to LinkedIn Learning. The courses are really good and laid out in a way that makes the content simple to follow and absorb.

Cons

I don't have much to complain about when it comes to this tool.

Pros

This is one of the best platforms for getting in front of the right people and reaching the right contacts.

Cons

Even with the premium plan, there's still no access to contact information.

Pros

Upgrading to premium adds a lot more than the free version and that has been a big plus. Searching for jobs, keeping tabs on applications and connecting with other members all work really well, along with plenty of other useful benefits.

Cons

There is very little to complain about. I have been very satisfied with the product overall.

Pros

I appreciated being able to see who viewed my profile.

Cons

App bombards me with useless notifications and the only warning about being charged was hidden among all that clutter.

Pros

It's really useful being able to see who's viewed my profile and how they found their way to it.

Cons

The pricing feels a little high for my needs since I don't end up using everything that's included.

Pros

Has been really useful for searching people, picking up new skills, checking profile analytics and viewing unlimited profiles. I also genuinely enjoy having the gold badge on my profile after upgrading to Premium.

Cons

Only downside is that the number of InMail credits included feels quite low considering how much it costs.

Pros

Being able to message recruiters directly is a big plus and the response time has been quick.

Cons

Cost could be adjusted more based on geographic location.

Pros

It's a really solid platform for connecting with the right professional profiles. My favorite parts are features like InMail, advanced search and the extra results you get in search queries.

Cons

I do think the premium plans should be priced more affordably.

Pros

During my time using LinkedIn Learning, two things really worked in my favor. First, the premium version helped me see job opportunities that actually matched my skills which made a real difference while I was switching jobs. Second, a premium account let me send job-related messages even to people outside my connections and that was one of the most useful features for reaching out freely.

Cons

A couple of things did feel a bit rough with this paid version. The first was the pricing,if you prefer paying month to month like I do, it can feel pretty expensive. The second was the number of promotional and spam messages which were sometimes quite annoying to deal with.

Pros

One thing that really adds value is the free courses included for premium users. The course content is high quality, genuinely useful and does a lot to help with job preparation and landing a good role.

Cons

Pricing does feel a little on the expensive side. Even though the benefits make it understandable, having a slightly lower-priced plan would make it even better.

Pros

Best part is being able to keep in touch with professional colleagues and maintain those career connections over time.

Cons

Using connections for lead generation can still be a challenge and isn't always as effective as I'd like.

Pros

Having so many recruiting features in one place has been really valuable. It covers pipeline creation sourcing and hunting and it also connects well with my ATS and other tools like SignalHire. That combination makes it very useful and helps me keep all of my recruitment projects organized.

Cons

Something I don't care for is that once a job post gets a certain number of applicants, it automatically becomes inactive unless I pay to promote it. I also don't like that I'm limited to posting only one job for free.

Pros

After using it for many years, it has consistently helped boost my online visibility. I rely on it to connect with my network and even reach people beyond it through posts and shared insights. It also gives me access to the learning platform which has been valuable for building my knowledge and earning certifications.

Cons

Honestly I have nothing negative to say.
