LinkedIn Premium
LinkedIn Premium is not required to use Vaam, but it’s highly recommended to unlock higher limits and smoother automation. This guide explains the benefits of upgrading and helps you choose the right plan for your outreach needs.
Do You Need LinkedIn Premium?

Why Consider LinkedIn Premium?
Section titled “Why Consider LinkedIn Premium?”Higher Outreach Limits
Section titled “Higher Outreach Limits”Free LinkedIn accounts face strict caps that can limit your automation:
Connection Requests
- Free accounts: Up to 100 per week (recommended to stay under 80 if not using Sales Navigator)
- Premium accounts: Up to 200 per week with a high Social Selling Index (SSI) score
Messages
- Free accounts: ~100 messages per week
- Premium accounts: ~150 messages per week
Profile Views
- Free accounts: 500 views per day
- Sales Navigator/Recruiter: 2,000 views per day
Unlimited Personalized Connection Requests
Section titled “Unlimited Personalized Connection Requests”One of the most significant limitations of free accounts:
- Free accounts: Only 5 personalized connection requests with 200-character notes
