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.
The four ways to buy Sales Navigator
| Where | What you get | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn website | Core or Advanced, bought yourself | Core $119.99/mo or $1,079.88/yr. Advanced $159.99/mo or $1,799.88/yr | Anyone who wants to buy from LinkedIn directly |
| LinkedIn sales team | Advanced Plus, or a larger team contract | Custom quote | Teams that need CRM sync and a LinkedIn account manager |
| LinkedIn free trial | A free trial of Core or Advanced | $0 during the trial, then full price | Members on no paid LinkedIn plan, with no trial in the past 365 days |
| SalesNavSplit | The same official Core seat, on your own account | $50/mo, or $480/yr ($40/mo) | Individual sellers and small teams who want Core for less |

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
2. Choose monthly or yearly and pay
3. Connect your LinkedIn account
4. Your seat goes live
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.
