LinkedIn Plans 2026 Prices: All LinkedIn Plans Comparison

LinkedIn has 9 paid account types and plans, and picking the wrong one can be an easy mistake to make. 

A job seeker might not need Sales Navigator. A sales rep doing outbound will outgrow Premium Business in a week. And a recruiter running high-volume hiring has entirely different requirements from both.

The bigger issue: LinkedIn doesn’t publish all its pricing in one place, costs vary by region, billing cycle, and account type, and most articles online are still showing outdated figures.

So, I verified every price in this article directly against LinkedIn’s official plan pages as of 2026. 

However, some plan details are only available through a LinkedIn sales rep or demo request. 

Where LinkedIn doesn’t publish pricing publicly (Recruiter Corporate, Advanced Plus), I looked at the figures most consistently reported across the industry. 

Whether you’re a job seeker, sales professional, recruiter, or founder trying to decide which LinkedIn plan is worth the cost, this is the breakdown you need.

Key Takeaways

• LinkedIn has 9 paid plans across four categories: Premium (Career, Business, All-in-One), Sales Navigator (Core, Advanced, Advanced Plus), Recruiter (Lite, Corporate), and Learning.
• Sales Navigator Core is $119.99/mo in 2026.
• Annual billing reduces the monthly rate on most plans. E.g. Sales Navigator Core drops from $119.99 to ~$89.99/mo (annually).
• Premium Business is the hardest plan to justify for sales use cases – at $59.99/mo it’s close enough to Sales Navigator Core that most outbound-focused users should skip it.
• Recruiter Corporate and Sales Navigator Advanced Plus pricing is not officially published – expect custom quotes via LinkedIn’s sales team.
• LinkedIn plan prices often vary depending on your region. Verify your actual price in LinkedIn’s checkout before committing.
• Whichever plan you choose, pairing it with Expandi lets you scale outreach beyond what manual LinkedIn usage allows.

Free LinkedIn Account

A free LinkedIn account is a solid starting point for building a presence, connecting with your network, and searching for jobs or prospects at a basic level.

What you can do with a free account:

• Build and publish your profile.
• Send connection requests and messages to 1st-degree connections.
• Apply to jobs via Easy Apply.
• Follow companies and engage with content.
• Run basic people and company searches.

What you can’t do with a free LinkedIn account:

• Message people outside your network (no InMail).
• See the full list of who viewed your profile.
• Run unlimited searches without hitting LinkedIn’s commercial limit.
• Access advanced filters for lead or candidate sourcing.

The commercial search limit is worth knowing about. LinkedIn caps how many search results free accounts can see per month to curb automated scraping, and the cap isn’t publicly disclosed. Though users across Reddit and other communities report it’s approximately 300 searches per month or roughly 1,000 profile results (widely reported but not officially confirmed by LinkedIn).

Once you hit it, results stop showing. 

If you’re doing consistent prospecting or sourcing, you’ll feel this ceiling fast.

Free vs. Paid: When Does It Make Sense to Upgrade?

A free account works fine if you’re casually networking or passively job hunting. The moment LinkedIn becomes part of your workflow – for outreach, lead generation, recruiting, or sales – the limitations start costing you more in time and missed opportunities than any paid plan would.

Specific scenarios where upgrading makes sense:

• You’re actively prospecting and hitting search limits.
• You need to message people you’re not connected to.
• You’re a recruiter who needs to filter beyond basic criteria.
• You want to see who’s been viewing your profile for targeting or follow-up.
• You’re running a sales process where speed and pipeline visibility matter.

How Much Does LinkedIn Premium Cost? All Plans at a Glance

LinkedIn doesn’t publish pricing for all plans in one place, and costs vary by region, billing cycle, and in some cases by how you access the purchase flow. 

The figures below are USD-based. Expect variation depending on your country.

Here’s a breakdown of all LinkedIn subscription options and what they cost:

• Premium Career: $29.99/mo.
• Premium Business: $59.99/mo.
• Premium All-in-One: $99/mo.
• LinkedIn Learning: $39.99/mo.
• Sales Navigator Core: $119.99/mo.
• Sales Navigator Advanced: $159.99/mo.
• Sales Navigator Advanced Plus: $1,600/seat/year (annual only).
• Recruiter Lite: ~$170/mo.
• Recruiter Corporate: ~$900/mo.

LinkedIn occasionally runs promotional discounts – Black Friday and fiscal year-end are the most common windows. New users can also sometimes access extended trials or reduced first-month pricing depending on region and how they land on the purchase page. Annual billing is the most reliable way to save, typically 20-25% off the monthly rate.

All 9 LinkedIn Pricing Plans: Full Comparison Table

All prices in USD. Annual billing figures sourced directly from LinkedIn’s official Sales Navigator pricing page. Premium and Recruiter annual figures are widely reported and consistent across sources but not centrally published by LinkedIn.

Once again, prices may vary, depending on region and timing. But here’s a quick overview of what you might expect in terms of plan pricings, before we take a look at each plan in detail.

Now, let’s take a look at each LinkedIn premium plans in detail.

LinkedIn Premium Career – $29.99/mo

Best for: Active job seekers.

Premium Career is LinkedIn’s entry-level paid plan, built exclusively around job searching and recruiter visibility.

What you get beyond a free account:

• 5 InMail credits per month to message recruiters or hiring managers directly.
• Full profile viewer history for the last 365 days.
• Top Applicant insights showing how you rank against other applicants for a role.
• AI-powered job fit analysis and profile writing suggestions.
• Access to 20,000+ LinkedIn Learning courses.
• “Top Choice” job marking to signal strong interest to hiring managers.

LinkedIn Premium Career Pricing:

• Monthly: $29.99/mo.
• Annual: ~$19.99/mo ($239.88/year).
• Free trial: 1 month for eligible accounts.

Worth it? 

If you’re actively applying and want visibility into who’s viewing your profile plus the ability to message recruiters directly, it’s a reasonable spend. If you’re casually browsing jobs without consistent applications, skip it for now.

LinkedIn Premium Business – $59.99/mo

Best for: Professionals focused on networking, personal brand building, and light business development.

Premium Business includes everything in Career, plus:

• 15 InMail credits per month, with rollover for up to 3 months.
• Unlimited people browsing.
• Business insights including company growth data and competitor analytics.
• Custom call-to-action button on your profile.
• Daily prospect suggestions.

LinkedIn Premium Business Pricing:

• Monthly: $59.99/mo.
• Annual: ~$47.99/mo ($575.88/year).
• Free trial: 1 month for eligible accounts.

Worth it? 

Hard to recommend for anyone with a sales or outbound goal. For $60/mo you get 15 InMails and some company insights. Sales Navigator Core at $119.99/mo gives you 50 InMails, 50+ advanced filters, lead tracking, real-time alerts on job changes and prospect activity, and actual prospecting infrastructure. The extra $60 is worth it if outbound is part of your job.

Premium Business makes sense if your main goal is profile visibility, networking, and business insights – not pipeline building.

LinkedIn Premium All-in-One – $99/mo

Best for: Small business owners and solopreneurs managing hiring, marketing, and networking from one plan.

Premium All-in-One is a relatively new plan LinkedIn introduced to bundle personal profile features with Company Page capabilities into a single subscription. Previously you’d need two separate plans to cover both.

What you get:

• 5 InMail credits per month with rollover up to 3 months.
• Full profile viewer history for 365 days.
• Custom CTA button on your profile.
• AI-powered profile and post writing suggestions.
• $100/mo in LinkedIn advertising credits to boost posts and run campaigns.
• $50/mo in job posting credits to promote open roles.
• Company Page management and analytics.
• Enhanced Page visibility placements.
• Follower growth tools including auto-invite for content engagers.
• Daily prospect suggestions.

LinkedIn Premium All-in-One Pricing:

• Monthly: $99/mo (monthly billing only – no annual plan currently available).
• Free trial: Available for eligible accounts.

Worth it? 

The $150/mo in combined ad and job posting credits technically offsets the subscription cost if you’re actively using both. For a small business owner who’s simultaneously trying to hire, run LinkedIn ads, and build a personal brand, bundling this into one plan at $99/mo is practical. 

If you only need one of those things, a more targeted plan will serve you better.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator Core – $119.99/mo

Best for: Individual sellers, SDRs, founders, and marketers doing outbound prospecting on LinkedIn.

Sales Navigator Core is the primary tool for B2B prospecting on LinkedIn. It’s a separate platform from Premium – not just an upgrade – built specifically for sales workflows.

What you get:

• 50 InMail credits per month.
• 50+ advanced search filters for leads and accounts.
• Lead and account lists with up to 10,000 saved leads.
• Real-time alerts on job changes, promotions, company news, and prospect activity.
• Weekly lead recommendations based on your saved searches and ICP.
• Relationship Explorer to identify the best path to a decision-maker.
• Relationship Map for org chart visualization.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator Core Pricing:

• Monthly: $119.99/mo
• Annual: ~$1,079/year.
• Free trial: 30 days for eligible accounts.

Worth it? 

If LinkedIn is a serious part of your sales motion, yes. The advanced filters alone change the quality of your prospecting vs. a free or Premium Business account. One closed deal from a Sales Navigator-sourced lead typically covers months of the subscription cost.

One limitation: Sales Navigator Core doesn’t let you export lead lists to CSV natively. To scrape and automate outreach at scale, you’ll want to pair it with a tool like Expandi.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator Advanced – $159.99/mo

Best for: Sales teams of 2+ reps who need to collaborate, share lead lists, and coordinate outreach.

Advanced includes everything in Core, plus team-specific features that make a real difference once you’re coordinating across multiple sellers:

• TeamLink – see which teammates are connected to a prospect and request warm introductions through your collective network.
• Smart Links – package content into trackable links and see exactly how prospects engage with it.
• Shared lead and account lists across your team.
• CSV upload for account list targeting.
• Team reporting and usage analytics.
• Centralized billing and seat management for 2+ sellers.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator Advanced Pricing:

• Monthly: $159.99/mo per seat.
• Annual: $1,799/year per seat.
• Free trial: Available for eligible accounts.

Worth it? 

If you’re a solo seller, Core is enough. Advanced starts making sense once you have 2+ reps who need to avoid duplicate prospecting, share account intelligence, or tap into each other’s networks for warm introductions. The per-seat cost stacks up fast for larger teams, so run the math before committing.

Note: Despite the price jump from Core, Advanced still doesn’t include CRM writeback. That’s exclusively in Advanced Plus.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator Advanced Plus – $1,600/year

Best for: Enterprise sales teams running CRM-integrated social selling at scale.

Advanced Plus is LinkedIn’s top-tier sales product and is only available through LinkedIn’s sales team – you can’t self-serve purchase it. Pricing is typically custom based on team size, CRM setup, and onboarding requirements. 

Based on widely reported industry figures, it starts at approximately $1,600 per seat per year, but your actual quote will vary.

What you get beyond Advanced:

• Full LinkedIn CRM integration with Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, and more.
• Automatic CRM writeback – LinkedIn activities sync to your CRM without manual entry.
• Lead and contact creation directly from Sales Navigator into your CRM.
• Advanced enterprise admin controls including SSO and SCIM.
• Dedicated account team and tailored onboarding (when purchased through a LinkedIn rep).
• Custom ROI reporting tied to your CRM pipeline data.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator Advanced Plus Pricing:

• Monthly billing: Not available – annual contract only
• Annual: Expect to pay ~$1,600+/seat/year (custom, contact LinkedIn sales)
• Free trial: Not available.

Worth it? 

Only if your sales team is large enough to justify the overhead and your CRM is genuinely the system of record for your pipeline. For teams under 20 reps, Advanced typically covers what’s needed. Advanced Plus is for organizations where LinkedIn activity needs to flow directly into a larger revenue tech stack automatically.

LinkedIn Recruiter Lite – ~$170/mo

Best for: Individual recruiters, in-house hiring managers at SMBs, and solo agency recruiters with moderate hiring volume.

Recruiter Lite is LinkedIn’s entry-level recruiting product. It sits between Premium Business and full Recruiter Corporate in price and capability.

What you get:

• 30 InMail credits per month.
• 20+ advanced search filters for candidate sourcing.
• Unlimited browsing up to 3rd-degree connections.
• Candidate project folders and basic pipeline management.
• Saved search alerts up to 10 daily or weekly.
• Profile viewer history for the last 90 days.
• LinkedIn Learning access.
• InMail and job analytics.

LinkedIn Recruiter Lite Pricing:

• Monthly: ~$170/mo (single license).
• Annual: ~$1,680/year.
• Free trial: Available for first-time users.

Key limitations to know before buying:

• Search is restricted to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-degree connections only – not LinkedIn’s full database.
• Single-user license only – no team collaboration or shared pipelines.
• No ATS integrations.
• Additional InMail credits beyond the 30/mo allowance cost approximately $10 each.

Worth it? 

For individual recruiters filling 1-3 roles per quarter, yes. If you’re managing higher volume, running a team, or need ATS integration, you’ll hit the ceiling quickly and should evaluate Recruiter Corporate instead.

LinkedIn Recruiter Corporate – ~$900/mo per seat

Best for: Enterprise HR teams, staffing agencies, and large recruiting operations filling multiple roles simultaneously.

Based on widely reported industry figures, Recruiter Corporate starts at approximately $900/mo per seat. LinkedIn doesn’t publish this pricing publicly – contact LinkedIn’s sales team directly for an accurate quote.

Your actual quote will depend on number of seats, company size, and location.

What you get with Recruiter Corporate:

• 150 InMail credits per month per seat (vs. 30 in Lite).
• 40+ advanced search filters (vs. 20+ in Lite).
• Full LinkedIn database access – not restricted by connection degree.
• Bulk messaging up to 25 candidates at once.
• Full team collaboration: shared pipelines, candidate notes, and project visibility across recruiters.
• ATS integrations with 28+ tools.
• Company-owned data – candidate data belongs to the organization, not individual accounts.
• 50 saved search alerts daily or weekly (vs. 10 in Lite).

LinkedIn Recruiter Corporate Pricing:

• Annual contract only: ~$900/mo per seat (~$10,800/year per seat)
• Free trial: Not available
• Pricing is custom – contact LinkedIn’s sales team for a quote

Worth it? 

For teams filling 10+ roles simultaneously with dedicated recruiting staff, yes. The ATS integration and team collaboration features are the main differentiators over Lite. For smaller operations, the jump from ~$170/mo (Lite) to ~$900/mo per seat is hard to justify unless those two features are hard requirements.

LinkedIn Learning – $39.99/mo

Best for: Professionals, students, and teams looking to build skills through structured courses

LinkedIn Learning is a standalone subscription giving access to 20,000+ courses taught by industry professionals across business, technology, design, and creative fields.

What you get:

• 20,000+ courses with new content added regularly.
• Certificates of completion that display directly on your LinkedIn profile.
• AI-powered coaching and personalized learning path recommendations.
• Available as individual or team subscriptions.

LinkedIn Learning Pricing:

• Monthly: $39.99/mo.
• Annual: ~$239.88/year.
• Free trial: 30 days.

Worth it? 

At ~$19.99/mo on annual billing it’s one of the better value plans LinkedIn offers if you’re consistently using it. 

The caveat: LinkedIn Learning access is already bundled into Premium Career, Premium Business, Premium All-in-One, Recruiter Lite, and Recruiter Corporate. If you’re already on any of those plans, you don’t need to pay for it separately.
