Comparison

You spend most of your time inside LinkedIn and want InMail credits plus profile viewer analytics. LinkedIn Premium is the native upgrade for passive network presence.
You are already paying for Premium and/or résumé scanners, still spending hours writing notes, hunting contacts, and researching companies by hand — and want one board for fit, contacts, and drafts at less than the usual stack.
