    How to buy LinkedIn Sales Navigator

    Four ways to get a seat, what each one costs, and five questions to ask before you pay anyone who is not LinkedIn.

    Official license on your own account. Stripe invoice. Cancel anytime on the monthly plan.

    The short answer

    You can buy Sales Navigator on LinkedIn's website (Core at $119.99 a month, Advanced at $159.99), through LinkedIn's sales team for Advanced Plus, or through a reseller of official licenses. SalesNavSplit sells the same official Core seat for $50 a month, on your own LinkedIn account, with a Stripe invoice and a full refund if it cannot be activated.

    Which one fits you

    • You prospect on your own. Core covers it: the advanced search filters, Account IQ and Lead IQ, alerts and 50 InMails a month. Buy it from LinkedIn, or the same seat from us for $50.
    • Your team needs TeamLink. That is Advanced, bought from LinkedIn. We do not sell it.
    • Your pipeline lives in Salesforce, HubSpot or Dynamics and must sync. That is Advanced Plus, through LinkedIn's sales team.
    • You are not sure it is worth it yet. Start with LinkedIn's free trial if you are eligible. How the trial works.

    Five questions before you pay a reseller

    Sites selling Sales Navigator at a discount range from genuine resellers to shared logins that can get accounts restricted. Ask these five questions of anyone, including us. Our answers are underneath.

    1. Is the seat on my own LinkedIn account?

    It must be. A shared login or a seat on someone else's account is how people get restricted. With us the license is granted to your account, and you keep your own login.

    2. Do they ask for my LinkedIn password?

    They should not. You connect your account on a secure sign-in page. We never see or store your password.

    3. Is there a real invoice?

    You need one for expenses and tax. Every payment with us produces a Stripe invoice.

    4. What happens if the seat never arrives?

    Ask before paying. If we cannot activate your seat, you get a full refund.

    5. What is the catch?

    Every cheaper route has one. Ours: lists, saved searches and InMail history reset every 30 days, when the seat is renewed. A seller who will not name the catch is hiding one.

    Buying through SalesNavSplit, step by step

    1. Create your account

    Sign up with Google and your company details. It takes about two minutes.

    2. Choose monthly or yearly and pay

    $50 a month, or $480 for the year. Pay with Stripe and get your invoice at once. You can buy several seats in the same checkout.

    3. Connect your LinkedIn account

    Sign in to LinkedIn on a secure page. For a team, each colleague connects their own account to their own seat. Nobody shares a password.

    4. Your seat goes live

    Within two business hours European time, with an email when it is active. From the US, a weekday afternoon order is activated the next European business morning. The seat then renews every 30 days.

    Buying for a team

    Each seat belongs to one person's LinkedIn account, so a team of five needs five seats. You can buy them in a single checkout and each colleague connects their own account. The price stays $50 per seat. There is no volume discount, and no minimum number of seats.

    If your team relies on TeamLink, buy Advanced from LinkedIn instead. If it needs CRM sync, that is Advanced Plus. Neither feature is part of Core. Sales Navigator team pricing.

    Frequently asked questions

    Three places, plus LinkedIn's free trial. On LinkedIn's website, where Core is $119.99 a month and Advanced $159.99. Through LinkedIn's sales team, which quotes Advanced Plus and larger team deals. Or through a reseller of official licenses such as SalesNavSplit, which sells the same official Core seat for $50 a month, on your own LinkedIn account, with a Stripe invoice.

    Yes. LinkedIn bills Core at $119.99 a month, or $1,079.88 upfront for a year ($89.99 a month). Through SalesNavSplit it is $50 a month with no commitment, or $480 for a year ($40 a month).

    A seat on a Sales Navigator plan, attached to one person's LinkedIn account. On Core it unlocks the advanced search filters, Account IQ and Lead IQ, alerts and 50 InMails a month. A license cannot be shared between two people, so a team of five needs five seats.

    It is when the seat is a genuine LinkedIn license on your own account, you never hand over your password, and you get a real invoice. SalesNavSplit meets all three, and refunds you in full if the seat cannot be activated.

    Yes. You can buy several seats in one checkout, and each colleague connects their own LinkedIn account to the seat meant for them. The price is the same per seat, $50 a month, with no volume discount.

    Activation takes place within two business hours European time. European business hours fall in the US night and early morning, so a seat bought on a US weekday afternoon is activated during the next European business morning.

    Two things. Your lists, saved searches and InMail history are lost every 30 days, when the seat is renewed. And we only sell Core, so the team features of Advanced and Advanced Plus, such as TeamLink and CRM sync, are not available through us.

    Sales Navigator, $50 a month instead of $119.99

    The same official license, on your own account. Same features, same invoice, 58% off. Sales Navigator is the one plan we resell. Career, Business, All-in-One and Recruiter Lite stay at LinkedIn's price.
