LinkedIn Sales Navigator Cost & Pricing 2026: Every Plan and Team Size
LinkedIn Sales Navigator costs $119.99 a month per license for Core and $159.99 a month for Advanced, on monthly billing. Pay for the year and a Core license comes to $1,079.88, while Advanced Plus is priced on a sales call.
We built Replygrow, our LinkedIn outreach tool, to run campaigns straight from Sales Navigator searches, so these prices come up in our work every week. This guide covers the whole bill: each plan, what a team pays, the limits of a license and how to pay less.
How much does LinkedIn Sales Navigator cost in 2026?
One license covers one person, so the bill scales with headcount. A license also raises the monthly search limit a free account runs into, though Premium Business does that too; the filters and lead lists are what Sales Navigator adds.
| Plan | Price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Core | $119.99 per license a month | 50 InMail credits, 50+ filters, personal lists |
| Advanced | $159.99 per license a month | Adds TeamLink, shared lists, team reports |
| Advanced Plus | Custom quote | Adds CRM sync, quoted after a demo |
These prices were checked on LinkedIn's own pricing page, per license, in US dollars.
LinkedIn calls them estimates that may leave out VAT or sales tax. The price in its mobile app can also differ slightly. Buy on the web if you want the figure in the table.
The yearly price is where most budgets go wrong. LinkedIn prints each plan as a monthly rate "or" a yearly total, and that total isn't twelve months of the monthly rate.
The yearly plan saves 25% on Core but just 6% on Advanced. Assume Core's discount holds on Advanced and you'll under-budget every Advanced license by about a fifth.
Stay monthly unless you'll keep Core 9 months or more; on Advanced, the yearly plan pays off only past 11 months.
Outside the US, LinkedIn sets its own euro and pound prices. Core is €120.99 or £94.99 a month per license. Check the price in your own currency before you plan a budget.
Which Sales Navigator plan should you buy?
All three plans share the same search filters and the same InMail allowance. What changes as you move up is the team tooling, then the CRM link. Here's who each plan fits.
Core ($119.99 a month)
Core is LinkedIn's plan for individual sellers. You get the advanced lead and account filters (LinkedIn counts 50+), 50 InMail credits a month and saved searches with alerts. Account IQ, Lead IQ and Smart Links come with it too.
It fits a founder, an SDR or a consultant working their own pipeline. The catch is that everything stays personal. There are no shared lists, no TeamLink, no team reporting and no CRM link.
If InMail is all you use, each credit costs about $2.40 on monthly billing. Spend them on people a connection request can't reach.
Core also includes Premium Career features. If you were paying for Premium to see who viewed your profile, you can drop that subscription when you buy.
Core is the plan I'd start on. It has the same filters and the same InMail as Advanced, plus the deepest yearly discount LinkedIn offers.
Advanced ($159.99 a month)
Advanced is built for sales teams. On top of Core, it adds TeamLink, which shows warm paths into an account through your colleagues' networks. It also adds the Relationship Map, Buyer Intent and team reporting.
An admin manages every seat on one bill, and you can import your book of business from a CRM.
The catch is in what doesn't change. You still get 50 InMail credits and 2,500 results per search, and there's still no CRM sync.
It suits an agency too, when several account managers prospect into the same target companies. TeamLink then shows which colleague already knows someone there.
I'd move to Advanced once three or more sellers work the same accounts. For a single seller, it's $40 more a month for tools you won't open.
Advanced Plus (quoted by LinkedIn)
Advanced Plus is the CRM plan. It syncs with Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics and Oracle, and creates leads and contacts in your CRM. Custom ROI reporting, a dedicated account team and training come with it.
It fits a sales team whose reps log every touch in the CRM. It's also the only plan that moves leads out of Sales Navigator at all. No plan exports a CSV.
LinkedIn prints no figure for it, monthly or yearly; its only button is a demo request. Pricing depends on your team's size, your CRM and your training needs, so any figure quoted elsewhere is a guess.
I'd only book that call if your team already lives in one of those CRMs. Otherwise Advanced covers the team work at a price you can see.
Team cost: 5, 10 or 25 licenses
You pay one license per seller, and LinkedIn publishes no volume discount. So the bill grows in a straight line. On monthly billing, ten Core licenses cost $1,199.90 a month and ten Advanced licenses $1,599.90.
On the yearly plan, the same ten Core licenses come to $10,798.80 for the year, $3,600 less than twelve months of monthly billing.
If you run an agency, the math is the same. LinkedIn sells no shared seat, so each person who searches for a client needs a full license of their own.
LinkedIn's online checkout sells up to five Advanced licenses from a desktop. Buying for a bigger team is the moment to ask its sales team for a volume price, precisely because none is published.
Budget the seats people will actually use. An idle license bills the same as a busy one, and on the yearly plan it bills until the year ends.
Ways to pay less, or try it free
The cheapest month of Sales Navigator is a free one. LinkedIn offers a one-month trial of Core and Advanced, and it asks for a card to start it.
The trial is open to members on no paid LinkedIn plan who haven't used any LinkedIn trial in the past year. So a current Premium subscriber can't take one.
It renews into a paid plan one month after it starts, unless you cancel at least a day before. LinkedIn emails a reminder a week out. Android subscribers don't get one.
I set my own reminder the day I start a trial. I also line up a real search before day one, so the month proves something.
After the trial, four moves cut the bill:
- Pay yearly on Core. It saves 25%, the biggest discount LinkedIn publishes on this product.
- Stay monthly on Advanced. Its yearly discount is small, and monthly billing lets you stop.
- Start on Core. You keep the same filters and InMail, and you can upgrade when the team needs TeamLink.
- Ask for a volume price above five seats. LinkedIn publishes none.
Need Sales Navigator for one project? Stay monthly. Three months of Core on monthly billing cost less than a yearly plan you stop using.
LinkedIn's price note also mentions promotional discounts without publishing any. Before you buy several seats, ask a rep whether one is running.
Canceling is simple, and the timing matters. On Core you cancel in your Premium subscription settings; on Advanced, the admin does it. Either way, it takes effect when the paid period ends, so a yearly plan runs to its last day.
Forgot to cancel? LinkedIn refunds a Sales Navigator charge within seven days if you haven't used the subscription since.
The Sales Navigator limits nobody mentions
A license raises LinkedIn's ceilings; it doesn't remove them. These are the caps people find only after they've paid, all from LinkedIn's own help pages:
- Search results: a lead search shows up to 2,500 people across 100 pages, and an account search 1,000 companies.
- Lists and saved searches: up to 1,000 leads per list and 10,000 saved in all, plus 50 saved lead searches and 50 account searches.
- InMail: 50 credits a month on every plan. Unused credits bank up to 150 and expire after 90 days.
- Exports: no plan exports your leads to a CSV or spreadsheet. Only Advanced Plus pushes them into a CRM.
- Invitations: LinkedIn's weekly invitation limit applies per account, whatever you subscribe to.
The search cap is the one I plan around. I split any search bigger than 2,500 people by region or seniority before I work it. That way nobody past the cutoff is lost.
If you prospect company-first, account search will catch you out. It stops at 1,000 results, so slice an account list by industry or size before you build it.
Saved searches are the part you should use to the full. Each one sends a weekly email and a homepage alert when new people match, so every saved search works as a feed.
Plan one list per campaign. At 1,000 leads, a list is a natural campaign size, and the 10,000 total is the ceiling to watch.
Search volume is the one ceiling LinkedIn won't show you. A license raises the Commercial Use Limit that stops free accounts mid-month, but LinkedIn doesn't publish the new figure.
InMail is the cap that changes your sums. An InMail that gets a reply within 90 days hands its credit back, so a good message costs less than it looks. How credits bank and return is in LinkedIn InMail credits.
Is it cheaper to stay on LinkedIn Premium?
Yes, if all you need is more searching. Premium Business costs $69.99 a month against $119.99 for Core, and it also raises the monthly search limit a free account hits.
What it lacks is the part sellers pay for: lead filters, lead lists with alerts and 50 InMail credits a month instead of 15. Premium All-in-One ($89.99 a month) adds 30 credits and daily prospect suggestions, but LinkedIn is still rolling it out to a limited group.
Premium Career doesn't count here. It's a job-seeker plan, and it doesn't raise the search limit.
Not sure yet? Take the free month of Core first. Start on Premium Business and you lose it, because LinkedIn only offers the trial to members on no paid plan. If you upgrade from Premium later, LinkedIn prorates the switch.

Is LinkedIn Sales Navigator worth it?
Sales Navigator is worth it when finding the right people is what slows you down. Maybe you keep hitting the monthly search limit, or you need filters like headcount, seniority or a recent job change.
It earns its keep when you treat saved searches as a feed. I save every search I prospect from and turn its alerts on. New matches then arrive each week.
Test it before you pay. Run your ideal-buyer search on the account you have now. If it stops at the search limit, or the filters can't describe your buyer, you've found the reason to buy.
It isn't worth it if you were hoping for more InMail, a bigger export or a CRM link below Advanced Plus. None of those change until the top plan, and InMail never does.
The honest catch is that a 2,500-person list with nobody working it is an expensive spreadsheet. A license pays back when every lead gets an invite, a follow-up and a same-day answer when they reply.
My short version, by buyer:
- One seller with their own pipeline: Core, paid yearly once you know you'll keep it.
- A team working the same accounts: Advanced, billed monthly.
- A team that lives in its CRM: Advanced Plus, after the demo and a quote.
- A recruiter: neither. Hiring needs a different seat, covered in LinkedIn Recruiter pricing.
What Sales Navigator doesn't do (and what to pair it with)
Sales Navigator finds people; it doesn't send. No plan sends an invite, follows up when someone goes quiet or paces your accounts. Every lead on the list waits for you to type.
Working a 2,500-person list by hand means weeks of typing, a spreadsheet of follow-up dates and an inbox per seller. Replygrow runs that part from the Sales Navigator searches you already pay for.
- Campaigns straight from a search URL: paste a Sales Navigator search and Replygrow pulls in up to 2,500 leads, then visits, connects and follows up on the delays you set.
- One inbox for every account: replies from all your LinkedIn accounts land in one inbox, and a reply pauses that person's sequence so you can take over.
- A dedicated residential proxy and warm-up: every account gets its own proxy in the country you choose and a 14-day warm-up from 5 to 30 invitations a day. Good pacing cuts the risk, though no tool takes it to zero.
- More replies: teams on Replygrow see a 15–35% higher response rate and 3x more meetings booked weekly.
- Up to 50% off as you grow: discounts start at 5% from 5 accounts and reach 50% at 50. The base rate is $79 per LinkedIn account a month.
Your Sales Navigator license stays yours, and each search runs from the account that holds it. Every rate and the free trial are on our pricing page.
Sales Navigator cost: the bottom line
For one seller, Core at $119.99 a month is the plan to buy. Switch it to yearly once you know you'll use it all year.
For a team that shares accounts, Advanced at $159.99 a license, billed monthly. For a CRM sync, book LinkedIn's demo and get a quote.
Then budget for the half Sales Navigator leaves to you. Replygrow turns the searches you already pay for into invites, follow-ups and replies in one inbox.
Frequently Asked Questions
1) How much is LinkedIn Sales Navigator per month?
$119.99 a month per license for Core and $159.99 for Advanced, on monthly billing. On the yearly plan, Core works out to $89.99 a month and Advanced to $149.99, but you pay the whole year up front.
2) Is there a free trial of LinkedIn Sales Navigator?
Yes. Core and Advanced come with a one-month free trial, and LinkedIn asks for a card to start it. It renews into a paid plan unless you cancel at least a day before, and it's only open to members on no paid LinkedIn plan who haven't had a LinkedIn trial in the past year.
3) Is Sales Navigator Advanced worth it?
For a team, often yes: TeamLink, the Relationship Map and seat management help sellers share accounts. For one person, rarely. Advanced keeps Core's 50 InMail credits and search limits, and costs $40 more a month.
4) How much does Sales Navigator Advanced Plus cost?
LinkedIn doesn't publish a price. Advanced Plus is quoted after a demo, based on your team's size, the CRM you connect and the training you need. There's no public per-license rate, yearly total or minimum seat count, so any figure you see online is an estimate.
5) Why do websites list different Sales Navigator prices?
Some still print LinkedIn's older Core price of $99.99 a month. Others quote the yearly plan divided by 12 ($89.99) without saying so. LinkedIn's own pricing page lists Core at $119.99 a month on monthly billing, and that's the figure to budget with.
6) Can Sales Navigator send connection requests automatically?
No. It finds and saves leads, but every invite and follow-up goes out by hand from LinkedIn. Replygrow runs that part: paste the search URL into a campaign and it sends from your own accounts, with every reply in one inbox.
