LinkedIn Likes: Why the Floor Is $6.79

Six dollars and seventy-nine cents per thousand likes. The Instagram equivalent starts at half a cent, which makes this roughly thirteen hundred times dearer for the same verb.

What the price range is telling you

Professional profiles are expensive to create and expensive to keep, so the pool behind these lines is small and slow to replace. Seven of the twelve carry a refill window, which on this platform is less a marketing feature than an acknowledgement that the supplier expects to be asked.

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

How long it actually takes

11 of our 12 LinkedIn Likes 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

7 of our 12 LinkedIn Likes services carry a refill window in the service name and 5 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 12 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 Likes 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 37 of 55 — slower than the catalogue median of 1 hour 58 minutes. Ranked by entry price it is 48 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 0.679 cents — 1 unit of a $6.79 per 1000 line. 7 of the 12 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.
