Arya vs LinkedIn Premium: What You're Actually Paying For

LinkedIn Premium Gets You Seen. Arya Gets You Callbacks.

You paid for LinkedIn Premium. Saw who viewed your profile. Got the little gold badge. Used your 5 InMail credits on recruiters who never replied. A month later you're still checking Naukri at 1am wondering why nothing's moving.

Here's what nobody explains before you hit subscribe: LinkedIn Premium was never built to apply for you. It was built to make you look better while you keep doing everything manually anyway.

Arya vs LinkedIn Premium: What You're Actually Paying For

LinkedIn Premium Career costs somewhere around ₹2,400 to ₹2,800 a month in India. For that you get 5 InMail credits, a "who viewed your profile" list going back 90 days, an applicant insights feature showing how you rank against other candidates, and access to LinkedIn Learning courses.

Every single one of those features does the same thing: makes you slightly more visible. None of them apply to a job. None of them write a cover letter. None of them follow up with a recruiter who's gone quiet on you.

That's the whole model. Premium sells you a better seat at the table. It does not get you to the table.

What Arya Actually Does Instead

Arya by Mentoria isn't trying to make your profile prettier. A series of 7 interconnected AI agents run the entire job hunt loop for you: scanning every major Indian portal daily, tailoring your CV to each specific JD, writing a cover letter that isn't obviously templated, submitting the application, finding the recruiter's actual email address, and following up automatically at 3, 7, and 14 days if you don't hear back.

You get 15 of the most relevant jobs delivered to you daily. Arya's already sorted through 84,000+ jobs a month to land on those 15.

LinkedIn Premium hopes a recruiter notices you. Arya goes and puts your tailored application in front of them directly, on Naukri, LinkedIn, IIMJobs, Shine, and every portal that matters, without you touching a single form.

The Real Comparison

LinkedIn Premium Career runs you about ₹2,400 to ₹2,800 a month, while Arya starts free with paid plans from ₹299 a month. For that money, Premium gives you a look at who viewed your profile and a handful of InMail credits, but it doesn't apply to a single job, tailor your CV, write a cover letter, find a recruiter's email, or follow up if you go quiet. Arya does all of it automatically, scanning every major Indian portal, tailoring each application to the actual JD, and following up at 3, 7, and 14 days without you lifting a finger.

Premium is a visibility upgrade. Arya is the actual job hunt, running while you're not looking at your phone.

So Is LinkedIn Premium Worth It

Keep your free LinkedIn profile. It's still where recruiters look you up before an interview, and that part matters. But paying ₹2,500 a month to see who viewed your profile, while you're still the one clicking apply 40 times a week, isn't solving the actual problem.

27,500+ people across India have already made the switch to something that does the applying instead of the watching. It's cut their job search time by 60%, saved them 2+ hours a day, and because every application is properly tailored instead of generic, they're seeing up to 8x more interview calls.

Start free. Let Arya show you the difference between being seen and actually getting somewhere.
