For sales teams, Sales Navigator Core costs $119.99 per month or $1,079.88 per year. Recruiter Lite has no publicly listed price.

**As of October 2026.**We checked all US dollar prices on LinkedIn’s pricing pages on October 9, 2026.

We calculated the “per month when billed annually” column from the annual price. LinkedIn describes the prices as estimates that “may exclude Value-Added Tax (VAT),” so they may not include VAT or promotional discounts. LinkedIn only shows the final price for your account during checkout, after you log in.

## What is LinkedIn Premium?

LinkedIn Premium is not a single product. It is a range of subscriptions with different focuses: Premium Career for job seekers, Premium Business for freelancers and small businesses, Sales Navigator for sales teams, and Recruiter Lite for recruiting. You can find out what Sales Navigator does in detail in the[Overview of LinkedIn Sales Navigator](https://compleadly.com/blog/linkedin-sales-navigator-a-worthwhile-investment-or-an-overrated-sales-tool). If you’re deciding between the two outreach subscriptions, the comparison can help.[Premium Business or Sales Navigator](https://compleadly.com/blog/linkedin-premium-business-vs-sales-navigator).

## Free account or Premium: What the free account can’t do

You can use LinkedIn without a subscription. Creating a profile, making connections and publishing posts are free. You only run into limits when you want to search for specific people and reach out to people outside your network:

- With a free account, you can only see limited information about who viewed your profile: up to three of the most recent visitors from the past 90 days, and only if your name is visible when you view other people’s profiles. Premium Career and Premium Business show visitors from the past 365 days.
- If you search a lot with a free account, you’ll hit the commercial use limit. What counts towards that limit is listed in the[Guide to the LinkedIn search limit](https://compleadly.com/blog/linkedin-search-limit). You can gauge your limits with the free[LinkedIn Limits Calculator](https://compleadly.com/free-tools/linkedin-limits-calculator).
- You send messages to people you’re not connected with via InMail. Credits for this are only available with a paid subscription.
- LinkedIn Learning, with over 25,000 courses, is included in Premium Career and Premium Business.

If you just want to have a presence, the free account is enough. If you’re actively looking for customers, candidates, or a job, a subscription is more likely to be worth it.

## LinkedIn Premium Career: Pricing and Features

Premium Career is for job seekers and anyone planning their next career move. It costs $39.99 per month or $239.88 per year. According to LinkedIn, you get:

- 5 InMail credits per month to message hiring managers and recruiters directly
- The list of your profile visitors, including trends over the past 365 days, and anonymous profile viewing
- Suggestions for jobs LinkedIn says you’re already a good match for, and the option to mark a job as a preferred choice when you apply
- Access to LinkedIn Learning with over 25,000 courses

## LinkedIn Premium Business: Pricing and Features

Premium Business is designed for self-employed professionals, consultants and small businesses that use LinkedIn for networking and customer acquisition. It costs $69.99 per month or $539.88 per year. It includes 15 InMail credits per month, unlimited searches for people and companies, company data such as growth and hiring activity, a custom action button on your profile, and LinkedIn Learning. The pricing page is inconsistent about profile visitors: it says up to 365 days in one place and 90 days in another. The[LinkedIn help](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a568149)states 365 days for Premium Business and Premium Career.

## Sales Navigator: Core, Advanced and Advanced Plus

Sales Navigator is the sales subscription. Core costs $119.99 per month or $1,079.88 per year; Advanced costs $159.99 per month or $1,799.88 per year. Advanced Plus has no listed price. LinkedIn provides a quote based on team size, CRM integration, and training needs.

- **Core**is for individual salespeople: over 50 search filters for leads, 50 InMails per month, AI summaries of companies and contacts (Account IQ and Lead IQ), and signals such as job changes.
- **Advanced**is for teams: it also includes TeamLink for introductions through your colleagues’ contacts, Smart Links for sharing content with analytics, and team reports.
- **Advanced Plus**adds a CRM integration.

According to LinkedIn, you can get a free trial of Core or Advanced if you don’t currently have a paid LinkedIn subscription and haven’t used a LinkedIn trial in the past 365 days. LinkedIn requires a payment method and sends you an email reminder seven days before the trial ends. The difference between an InMail and a regular message is explained by the[Introductory article on LinkedIn InMail](https://compleadly.com/blog/what-is-linkedin-inmail).

## Recruiter Lite and Recruiter: What LinkedIn Recruiting Costs

LinkedIn does not publish a price for Recruiter Lite; you only see it after logging in. The product page advertises a free trial. According to LinkedIn’s comparison, Recruiter Lite gives you 30 InMails per month per licence and more than 20 search filters. The full Recruiter product is available only through the sales team and offers 150 InMails per licence and more than 40 filters, including “Open to Work”. For a detailed comparison of the two, see[LinkedIn Recruiter pricing](https://compleadly.com/blog/linkedin-recruiter-cost).

## What you get for your money: a feature comparison

A lot is included in every subscription; the biggest difference is the InMail credit. LinkedIn Help compares the plans as follows (it also lists Premium All-in-One, a subscription for customer acquisition, company presence and hiring, for which we could not find a public price in euros):

| Feature                                  | Career   | Business | All-in-One | Sales Navigator Core | Recruiter Lite |
| ---------------------------------------- | -------- | -------- | ---------- | -------------------- | -------------- |
| Monthly InMail credit                    | 5        | 15       | 30         | 50                   | 30             |
| Profile visitors, time period            | 365 days | 365 days | 365 days   | 365 days             | 365 days       |

Source: [Difference between free LinkedIn and LinkedIn Premium](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a545596), accessed on October 3, 2026\. The same page notes a detail specific to the DACH region: the former “Premium DACH Essentials” subscription is still available in some regions, but you can no longer sign up for it.

LinkedIn Learning deserves a closer look. LinkedIn does not sell individual courses or a separate Learning subscription to individuals. According to LinkedIn, Premium Career is the subscription that comes closest to giving you personal access to Learning. If you already plan to take courses in sales, leadership or software, Premium also gives you access to more than 25,000 courses.

## Which plan is right for you?

Price alone does not answer that question. It depends on how you use LinkedIn.

![LinkedIn Premium Kosten: Entscheidungsbaum, welcher Tarif für Jobsuche, Selbstständige, Vertrieb und Recruiting passt](https://media.compleadly.de/media/1017d2424060593b37c83e50f523d75a221c928732c2b21c06b289ed47a7a72f.jpg)

LinkedIn Premium costs: a decision tree for choosing a plan for job hunting, self-employment, sales and recruiting

### Job hunting: Premium Career

Worth considering if you are actively looking to change jobs. You can see who has visited your profile, contact recruiters via InMail and find jobs that match your profile. If you only browse job listings occasionally, a free account is enough.

### Self-employed professionals and consultants: Premium Business

A starting point if you want to win clients through your network: unlimited search, 15 InMails and company data. At $539.88 a year, you do not need to win a large contract for it to be worthwhile.

### Sales: Sales Navigator

Once you start prospecting systematically—keeping lead lists, filtering by company size and role, and responding to job changes—Sales Navigator is the next step. The calculation is simple: $1,079.88 a year must be less than the contribution margin from your first customer acquired through LinkedIn. If you do not expect to close a deal through LinkedIn, it is not worth it.

### Recruiting: Recruiter Lite

For hiring managers who actively search for candidates rather than just post jobs: candidate filters, saved searches and 30 InMails per month per licence. If you regularly fill several roles, it saves time.

## The subscription helps you search, not reach out

Career, Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite help you find the right people. You still have to write to them yourself. That is where CompLeadly comes in: a desktop app that runs on your own computer:

- **Sales:** A Sales Navigator search becomes your target audience. CompLeadly visits profiles, sends connection requests, an initial message and follow-ups.
- **Recruiting:** CompLeadly works with Recruiter searches, pipelines or saved searches. You need a Recruiter licence for this. Learn more at [CompLeadly for recruiters](https://compleadly.com/use-cases/recruiters).
- **Applicants:** If you are looking for a job, a standard people search for team leads at the companies you want to work for is enough. Find out how in the [most common mistakes when looking for a job on LinkedIn](https://compleadly.com/blog/10-common-linkedin-mistakes-when-job-hunting-and-how-to-avoid-them).

CompLeadly starts with a 10-day trial with all features, then remains free with basic features and a daily limit—for example, 2 connection requests and 1 follow-up per day.

## How to save on LinkedIn Premium

- **Pay annually:** With Premium Career, the monthly price falls from $39.99 to $19.99; with Premium Business, it falls from $69.99 to $44.99\. The difference is smaller with Sales Navigator.
- **Use Duo:** Premium Career and Premium Business are available as Duo subscriptions for two people. Each account stays private; the person paying can only see whether the invitation was accepted. You can only sign up for Duo through the desktop website. If the person paying cancels, Premium ends for both people.
- **Use the trial:** Many plans can be tested for free[tried for free](https://compleadly.com/blog/try-linkedin-premium-for-free-how-it-really-works). LinkedIn decides whether you get a trial on an account-by-account basis.
- **Subscribe when you need it:** Subscribe to Premium for the months when you are actually searching or prospecting, instead of keeping it running permanently.

## Trial and cancellation: what to watch out for

LinkedIn requires a payment method for the Sales Navigator trial. Plan when to cancel before you start:

- Write down the trial end date. LinkedIn sends a reminder seven days before the Sales Navigator trial ends. If you cancel before then, you pay nothing.
- According to LinkedIn, cancelling Sales Navigator takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
- After the trial, check whether you actually used the features.
- Measure the value, not just the price: How many conversations, candidates or leads did the trial month bring you? Before you start, set a number you can use to assess the subscription.
- Only use the annual price in your calculations if you are sure you will be job hunting or prospecting for a full year. Otherwise, paying the higher monthly price for two or three months is cheaper.
