Job Slinger vs Job Slinger Plus

I signed up for JS+ when I had a credit I could use because it was so cheap and I figured it couldn't hurt. I renewed it about six months ago for a year thinking a little over $4 a month wasn't so bad. Does anyone else use, or has used, the Plus version and if so, did you think it was beneficial vs. the free program?

I saw some people in other postings kind of knocking the free one because of "stale" and/or taken job postings. But, they do star the ones that are guaranteed available.

To me one of the real values of Job Slinger is in the 'stale' posts. When I go to a job board where only 'live' jobs are listed I will never know what other opportunities were available that may become available again. There are literally a couple of companies that I watch like a hawk to make sure I get the jobs off the job board ASAP so that others are not even aware they existed. If I go to a job board and see a job I want with a company I am not registered with, by the time I register, the job is likely to be gone. If I see the 'stale' posting I at least know I need to get registered for next round.

What many shoppers find valuable about JS+ is that they can get instant notification on their cell phones of SASSIE shops as they post. If I found 1) that my best jobs were self assigns off of SASSIE and 2) that I was willing to pay extra for email and internet service to my cell phone and 3) that it really was profitable to shell out $4 per month for JS+, then I might consider it. But I find that 1) is not true and therefore 2) and 3) become irrelevant expenses.
I disagree. I pay a convenince fee, $50 a year because the emails I get have led me to over $1000 in work that I did not have access to before. First not only do they give you live reports of avaiable jobs in Sassie that you are registered with, they also have reachouts from other companies you are not registered with and links off Volition and MPSA boardsfor non-sassie shops. I consider the $50 yearly fee a "Convenience" fee.
YOU'VE CONVINCED ME TO SIGN UP, I WAS TRYING TO DECIDE IF IT WAS WORTH IT..
