LinkedIn Comments: Over a Day, and up to $262 per 1000

A day and five hours to the median, and a ceiling of two hundred and sixty-two dollars. This is the most expensive comment product we sell and one of the slowest things in the catalogue.

What the price range is telling you

Both numbers come from the same cause: a professional account writing a sentence that other professionals will read. There is no way to automate that cheaply, and the price is what an unautomatable thing costs.

The full list, with every line's own delivery figure, is on the LinkedIn Comments page.

How long it actually takes

7 of our 9 LinkedIn Comments services publish a measured completion time. The rest show “Waiting for data” instead of a guess. A blank cell is information too: it means nobody measured it, not that the service is instant.

Refill terms

1 of our 9 LinkedIn Comments services carry a refill window in the service name and 8 do not, side by side on the same page. The no-refill line is sometimes the dearer of the two — a guarantee is one input into the price, not the only one.

Country and language targeting

3 of the 9 lines name a country or language in the service name. Targeted services cost more and usually run slower than global ones, because the pool they draw from is smaller. If the audience does not need to match a country, the global lines deliver faster for less. The country pages are linked from the LinkedIn Comments page.

One field stays empty across this category: the drop rate. No supplier behind these lines reports a historical figure, so we leave the cell blank rather than filling it with something plausible. Where a supplier does report one — and some do, elsewhere in the catalogue — we print it, including the unflattering ones.

Where this sits in the catalogue

Ranked by measured speed, this category sits 53 of 55 — slower than the catalogue median of 1 hour 58 minutes. Ranked by entry price it is 49 of 56, against a catalogue floor of $0.0012 per 1000. For scale: the whole catalogue runs to 1,461 services and 1,072 of them publish a measured completion time.

The same product on other platforms

Quoted in the same unit, measured the same way. The prices are not comparable across platforms — they tell you what the audience costs there.

Test before you scale

The smallest real test order in this category costs 0.823 cents — 1 unit of a $8.23 per 1000 line. 9 of the 9 services accept orders of 20 units or fewer. There is no argument for learning a new service with volume when the small order is this cheap.

The whole catalogue is on the price list, the checks worth running on any panel are on best SMM panel, and entry prices across every platform are on cheap SMM panel.
