LinkedIn Premium Cost in India & How to Get It Cheap

A continuous subscriber's personal guide since 2020 on LinkedIn plans, hidden corporate partner perks, and how to never pay retail price again.

Experience as a Continuous Subscriber Since 2020

As an active LinkedIn Premium user across various plans since 2020, I frequently receive questions about whether the subscription is worth it and how to get it affordably. Drawing from my personal experience, here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions.

LinkedIn Premium Cost in India?

Answer: If you are actively job searching, the Premium Career plan—which costs around ₹1,000 per month—is generally sufficient. It provides 5 InMails per month, allowing you to reach out directly to recruiters and professionals who can refer you.

However, many job seekers feel the Career plan is somewhat limited. For serious job hunting, the Premium Business plan—costing around ₹2,000 per month—is often far more effective. It offers substantially more features, higher InMail limits, and deeper search capabilities, allowing you to connect with more decision-makers and significantly improve your chances of landing a job.

How to Get LinkedIn Premium for Free?

Answer: There are only a few legitimate ways to access LinkedIn Premium for free:

  • 1-Month Free Trial: LinkedIn offers an official 1-month trial, though this is strictly a one-time offer per account.
  • Corporate Partnerships: In the past, companies like Airtel and Adobe partnered with LinkedIn to offer complimentary 3-month Premium Career access. While many of these specific promotions have expired, similar partner perks do surface periodically. Note that these offers usually apply only to new users who have never activated a free trial before.

How to Get LinkedIn Premium at a Low Cost (or Almost Free)?

Answer: This is the most important question. I have used LinkedIn Premium continuously for over four years, but I have never paid full price for it.

Most of the time, I take advantage of special LinkedIn corporate partnerships, student programs, and promotional vouchers (such as Adobe partner perks, student discounts, and enterprise trials).

If you don’t know how to track down these hidden offers or simply don't have the time to search for them, you can reach out to me directly on Telegram. I can help you secure LinkedIn Premium at a fraction of the official retail cost.

Stop Paying Retail Price for LinkedIn Premium

Never pay full price directly to LinkedIn. By leveraging legitimate promotional routes and partner offers, you can easily save thousands of rupees while enjoying all the premium career benefits.
