The short version
Premium is for reaching people on LinkedIn. Role Trackr is for running the search: finding the roles, tailoring the resume, the follow-up and the prep. At $10 against $39.99 a month, the question is which one your search needs.
Where they are basically the same
Both help you find roles that fit, both track what you applied to, and neither submits an application for you.
Where Role Trackr goes further
The work of the search, every night. Every night Shep reads company job boards against your target and keeps the few that clear your bar, with why each one fits and what is missing. It tailors your resume for the best-fitting role you saved, with every change shown for you to keep. When a role goes quiet it writes the follow-up, and it turns confirmations, replies and invites in your job email into updates you confirm with one tap. When a role reaches interviews, one press builds its prep pack. Nothing goes to another person until you say send.
What about price
Role Trackr is free to start, with no card. Pro is $10 a month, tax included, for your inbox, more Targets and the full AI allowance, and you can cancel online any time. LinkedIn Premium Career is from $39.99 a month or $239.88 a year (checked November 2026).
