How Free user can boost

How to Boost as a Free User


Can I boost without a paid plan?


Yes! Free users can boost their posts directly from LinkedIn using the Podawaa Chrome extension. You don't need a paid plan to get started.


How do I boost for free?


  1. Install the Podawaa Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store
  2. Go to LinkedIn and log in to your account
  3. Find your post in your feed or on your profile
  4. Click the Podawaa boost button that appears below your post
  5. Configure your boost (likes, comments) and launch it


That's it — the boost button appears automatically under your LinkedIn posts when the extension is installed and active.

Why can't I boost from the Dashboard?


Boosting from the Podawaa Dashboard (app.podawaa.com) requires a paid plan. Free users must boost directly from LinkedIn using the Chrome extension.


If you see a screen asking you to upgrade after your trial ends, look for the "Boost for FREE from LinkedIn" banner at the top — it links you directly to the extension.


Do I need to keep my browser open?


Yes. Since free users boost via the Chrome extension, your browser needs to stay open while the boost is running. Paid plans (Private mode) use a cloud engine that runs 24/7 without needing your browser.


How do I upgrade to get more boosts?


If you want more likes, comments, or unlimited boosts, check out our paid plans:


  • Scale (from €29/month) — 50 likes per boost, 5 comments
  • Accelerate (from €45/month) — 100 likes per boost, 10 comments
  • Dominate (from €69/month) — 250 likes per boost, 20 comments


Upgrade from Settings > Billing in your Dashboard, or click the upgrade option on the trial-ended screen.


I don't see the boost button on LinkedIn


Make sure:

  1. The Podawaa extension is installed and enabled (check the puzzle icon in Chrome)
  2. You are on www.linkedin.com (not the mobile app)
  3. You are viewing your own post (you can only boost your own posts)
  4. The extension is logged in to your Podawaa account
  5. Try refreshing the page if the button doesn't appear immediately
