I haven't found it to be much more useful. You can reach out to the recruiter for the job posting but there's still no guarantee they'll respond (and sometimes you can do that without it anyway). It gives you some analytics for the job like top skills or whatever and if you're in the top xx% of applicants, not sure how it decides that though.

So in short, I don't think it is but go ahead and try the free trial if you haven't. Maybe you'll have better success.

I found it temporarily worth the $20 or whatever for a month when searching. Can see everyone looking at your profile and get some basic info about apps to various jobs. Nothing special but worth the price of a couple burritos for me.
