What they sell on the left. What Puvio actually does on the right.
When Premium is the right buy
You live in LinkedIn and want native InMail plus "who viewed me" without juggling another tab. Premium is the obvious upgrade if passive visibility is the bottleneck.
When the stack gets expensive
Premium for visibility plus a separate résumé / ATS checker for keyword scores is a common combo, and it often clears $70/mo before you have a researched note ready to send. After you pay, the hard part is still yours: blank-tab outreach drafts, finding who to ask, piecing company intel together, and polishing LinkedIn for more views. That unpaid grunt work is the gap Puvio fills.
When Puvio is the right buy
You are targeting named companies and need homework before you message: who to ask for a referral, how you fit, what they shipped last quarter. That is the job-search board. The win log keeps logging after the offer. Complete replaces the fragmented stack for $29/mo.
Related questions
Can I use LinkedIn Premium and Puvio together?
Yes. Browse and save roles on LinkedIn; run fit, contacts, and outreach drafts in Puvio. They solve different problems. Visibility vs researched reach. Many people drop the résumé-scanner subscription once Puvio covers the loop.
Is LinkedIn Premium really $70 a month?
No. Premium Career is about $39.99/mo and Business about $59.99/mo. The $70+ figure is the typical stack: Premium plus résumé / ATS checkers (often ~$30+/mo). Not Premium alone. After you pay that stack, outreach drafts, contact hunting, company research, and LinkedIn polish are still unpaid hours on you.
