Sales Navigator costs from US$119.99 a month, or US$1,079.88 a year, for one Core license, and from US$159.99 a month, or US$1,799.88 a year, for Advanced. Advanced Plus is quoted by LinkedIn's sales team. Every plan includes 50 InMail messages a month, and Core and Advanced have a free trial.
Published figures for Sales Navigator's cost vary from article to article, so this page uses one source: LinkedIn's own pages. LinkedIn dated its Sales Navigator prices September 27, 2026, and we checked them on October 1, 2026.
We make Buena, which finds prospects and drafts outreach and which some readers weigh against Sales Navigator, so read this as a vendor's explainer.
How much Sales Navigator costs, plan by plan
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed annually | LinkedIn says it is best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core | US$119.99 per license per month | US$1,079.88 per license per year | Individual sellers |
| Advanced | US$159.99 per license per month | US$1,799.88 per license per year | Sales teams |
| Advanced Plus | Quoted by LinkedIn's sales team | Quoted by LinkedIn's sales team | Sales teams using an integrated CRM |
LinkedIn describes annual billing as a 25% saving on Core and a 6% saving on Advanced. Divided by twelve, the annual prices come to US$89.99 a month for Core and US$149.99 for Advanced; that division is ours.
LinkedIn calls its listed prices estimates. It says they may exclude VAT, GST and promotional discounts, that pricing is subject to change, and that slight variations may occur across device types. The price shown when you start a purchase is the one that counts.

LinkedIn's pages differ on CSV upload. The plans page lists it on Advanced. LinkedIn's page comparing Sales Navigator with Premium footnotes it as available only on Advanced Plus, or on an Advanced plan bought through a sales representative, and puts the same footnote on TeamLink in one of its rows. If you need either on Advanced, confirm with LinkedIn before you buy online.
The features LinkedIn lists do not include work email addresses or phone numbers. The outreach features it lists are InMail and Message Assist. LinkedIn also says every Sales Navigator plan includes access to Premium Business features; our Premium vs Sales Navigator comparison sets out what that adds and what Premium costs on its own.
What Sales Navigator costs one seller in a year
- Core, paid monthly for twelve months: US$1,439.88.
- Core, paid annually: US$1,079.88, which is US$360.00 less.
- Advanced, paid monthly for twelve months: US$1,919.88.
- Advanced, paid annually: US$1,799.88, which is US$120.00 less.
The twelve-month totals and the differences are our arithmetic from LinkedIn's listed prices. The annual saving comes with a commitment: LinkedIn says cancelling an annual plan takes effect at the end of the paid year.
The Sales Navigator free trial, and cancelling
Who can take the free trial
- Core and Advanced each have a free trial, which you start from your LinkedIn account. LinkedIn lists no trial for Advanced Plus.
- LinkedIn's plans page says trials are for members who are not on any paid LinkedIn subscription, Premium included, and have not used a LinkedIn free trial in the past 365 days. It adds that availability and features may vary by plan and region.
- Its Help Center is stricter: if you have already used a free Premium trial, you may not be eligible for another “even if it has been more than 12 months”. If you have used any LinkedIn trial before, check what LinkedIn offers your account before you plan around one.
How long the trial lasts
LinkedIn does not publish one length. Its plans page does not state it, and its Help Center says trial length may vary based on region or promotional terms. The sign-up screen shows the terms for your account.
Payment details, reminders and cancelling a trial
- LinkedIn asks for a credit card to start a trial. It says it emails a reminder seven days before the trial ends, and the trial becomes a paid subscription unless you cancel first.
- The Help Center says ending a trial early removes access immediately, and that after cancelling a free trial you are not eligible for another for at least 12 months.
- LinkedIn's Help Center says you cannot switch between Premium plans for free during a trial, so pick the plan you want to try before you start.
Two months free by referral
A Sales Navigator subscriber can refer up to 15 first-degree connections to Sales Navigator Core, and LinkedIn says anyone who signs up through a referral gets their first two months free. The person referred must not already have Sales Navigator or another Premium subscription, and must not have used a LinkedIn free trial in the past 12 months. The offer can be redeemed once per member account, and an admin can turn referrals off for a team.
Cancelling a paid plan
- Monthly plans cancel at the end of the current month. Annual plans cancel at the end of the paid year.
- LinkedIn's Premium cancellation FAQ says to cancel at least one day before your next billing date to avoid being charged for another cycle.
- LinkedIn says your saved leads, saved accounts and Sales Navigator messages are removed as soon as you cancel, and cannot be saved first. If prices have changed since you subscribed, you lose your current price when you cancel.
- You can buy up to five Advanced licenses online, or one license in LinkedIn's iOS or Android app. Advanced Plus is bought through LinkedIn's sales team.
Which plan fits
- Core if you sell on your own and want search filters, lead and account research, alerts and InMail.
- Advanced if several people work the same customer accounts and you want TeamLink introductions, Buyer Intent and team reporting.
- Advanced Plus if Sales Navigator has to write leads and contacts into Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics or Oracle.
How this compares with Buena
Sales Navigator and Buena overlap less than their prices suggest. Sales Navigator is search and research on LinkedIn's own network, with InMail to reach people there. Buena is one membership at $97/month plus applicable tax for one member: 500 researched prospects and 500 verified work-email reveals a month, with extra reveals in $29 packs of 250. Your AI service is billed separately by your provider.
On price alone, Core billed monthly costs more than Buena's membership, and Core billed annually works out to less per month. If your buyers answer on LinkedIn and you want its filters and InMail, Sales Navigator is the better fit. If you want a verified work email and a drafted message built from a reason to reach out, that is what Buena covers. See what the membership includes.
