What Is The Difference Between Free LinkedIn and Premium LinkedIn?

TheIndonesia.id - With more than 600 million members, LinkedIn is the world's largest professional social network. While it's free, LinkedIn is capable to run much deeper than what the site provides through its free account with LinkedIn Premium.

For serious sales professionals, job seekers, and recruiters, upgrade to LinkedIn Premium for a one-month fee. LinkedIn has the largest B2B database on the internet, so the main differences between free and premium are how much data, job/sales insights, and search tools it limits.

For example, LinkedIn enforces a commercial usage limit that restrains searches and profile views to a small number of free accounts. LinkedIn premium users get unlimited searches, more filters, and great sales, hiring, and job insights.

A LinkedIn Basic account allows you to maintain a professional profile on LinkedIn. The Basic account is for anyone who wants to create and manage a professional profile online, find and connect with colleagues and friends, receive messages, and save up to three searches a week.

Premium Career accounts are for job seekers who want to see their competition, receive InMail credit, see who has viewed their profile in the last 90 days, and enjoy all the features of a Basic LinkedIn account.

The Premium Career Account is designed for active job seekers and professionals looking to network and find growth opportunities in their field. Following are the differences between premium and free LinkedIn accounts summarized by HiTekno.com.
