What Shield doesn't cover
Great data. No direction.
Shield is the most data-rich LinkedIn analytics tool on the market. It tells you exactly who engaged, which industries, which seniority levels. What it doesn't tell you is what to create next. Orsana closes that loop.
$25 per profile — adds up fast
Shield charges per LinkedIn profile. For a solo creator, it's $300/year for analytics only. Orsana covers analytics and AI content generation for €19/month.
No content archetype, no personalized suggestions
Shield exports your data. Orsana interprets it: your content archetype, which formats outperform your average, which topics resonate with your actual target clients — and generates post ideas that match.
