How Much Does LinkedIn Premium Cost in 2026? Every Plan and Price

As of October 2026, LinkedIn Premium costs $39.99 a month for Premium Career and $69.99 a month for Premium Business in the US, or $239.88 and $539.88 a year if you pay annually. The other paid plans cost more: Premium All-in-One is $89.99 a month, Sales Navigator Core $119.99, Sales Navigator Advanced $159.99 and Recruiter Lite about $170. These are the prices LinkedIn publishes on its Premium and Sales Navigator plan pages, and tax can be added at checkout.

"LinkedIn Premium" is not one subscription but a family of plans, each built for a different job: finding a job, growing a small business, selling or hiring. Below you'll find every plan with its monthly and annual price, what you get for the money, prices in euros and pounds, and the costs no plan covers.

LinkedIn Premium prices in 2026 (all plans)

US prices per license, as of October 2026, from LinkedIn's plan pages for Premium Career, Premium Business, Premium All-in-One, Premium Company Page and Sales Navigator. InMail allowances come from LinkedIn Help. LinkedIn only shows the Recruiter Lite price at checkout: about $170 a month is the US price reported in 2026, so check the one in your account.

Two things to know before you compare:

• These are "starting at" prices. LinkedIn says its listed prices are estimates that may exclude VAT or GST, can change, and may vary slightly by device (an in-app purchase on an iPhone, for example). The price you see after clicking "Try for free" or "Upgrade" is the one you'll pay.
• An old price stays yours until you cancel. If you're on a promotion or a plan LinkedIn no longer sells, you keep that price as long as you stay subscribed. Once you cancel, it's gone for good, according to LinkedIn's cancellation FAQ.

If you've read elsewhere that Premium Career costs $29.99 or Sales Navigator Core $99.99 a month, those numbers are out of date: LinkedIn's pages list $39.99 and $119.99 for new subscribers.

How much does LinkedIn Premium cost per year?

Paying annually is much cheaper on the plans most people buy:

The catch: annual billing is paid upfront. An annual Premium Career plan costs exactly six months of monthly billing, so it only pays off if you keep it at least six months. For a two- or three-month job search, monthly billing is cheaper. Premium Business breaks even after about eight months.

LinkedIn Premium prices in euros and pounds

LinkedIn lists these as estimates that may exclude VAT, so a subscriber in Germany, France or the UK can see a higher total at checkout. Canadian and Australian dollar prices are on the same plan pages.

What each LinkedIn Premium plan includes

Premium Career: $39.99/month

Built for job seekers:

• Job search tools: job match and applicant insights, a "Top choice job" signal to tell a recruiter a role is your first choice, and AI help to improve your profile and proofread your messages.
• 5 InMail credits a month to message recruiters and hiring managers you're not connected to.
• Who's viewed your profile: the full list of viewers over up to 365 days, where a free account only shows the three most recent ones (LinkedIn Help). You can also browse in private mode and still see your own viewers.
• LinkedIn Learning: more than 25,000 courses. LinkedIn no longer sells individual Learning subscriptions, so Premium Career is now the way to get it as an individual (LinkedIn Help).

A Duo option gives two people (a partner, a friend) their own Premium Career license on one subscription for $59.98 a month or $359.88 a year.

What Career doesn't do: it doesn't lift the commercial use limit on people searches, and it has no business insights. If you use LinkedIn to prospect, it's the wrong plan.

Premium Business: $69.99/month

Built for freelancers, consultants, founders and anyone who networks for business:

• Unlimited people browsing, which frees you from the commercial use limit, the monthly cap on people searches and profile views of free accounts (LinkedIn Help).
• 15 InMail credits a month, which accumulate up to 45.
• Business insights on companies (growth trends, hiring activity), a custom button on your profile and Premium Service Page features.
• The same profile viewer insights and LinkedIn Learning access as Career.

The Duo option costs $118.98 a month or $917.98 a year for two licenses.

Premium All-in-One: $89.99/month

LinkedIn's newest plan for small business owners combines profile and Page tools: 30 InMail credits a month (up to 90), 15 daily prospect suggestions, advanced search, trending posts from your target audience, automatic follow invitations, plus $50 a month in post-boost credits and $50 a month in hiring credits ($600 of each upfront on an annual plan). LinkedIn says it is "currently rolling out to a limited group", so you may not see it in your account yet.

Sales Navigator Core and Advanced: $119.99 and $159.99/month

Sales Navigator is a separate interface built for prospecting: 50+ lead and account filters, saved lead lists, recommendations, real-time alerts on job changes, AI account and lead insights, and 50 InMail credits a month. Core is for individual sellers; Advanced adds team features such as centralized seat management and TeamLink introductions through your colleagues' networks; Advanced Plus adds CRM integration and is sold on quote. Our Sales Navigator pricing guide details each tier, and Sales Navigator vs Premium helps you choose between the two.

Recruiter Lite: about $170/month

LinkedIn's self-serve recruiting tool for people who hire a few times a year: 20+ candidate search filters, saved search alerts, daily candidate recommendations, job posting and 30 InMail credits a month. The full LinkedIn Recruiter, for talent teams, is sold on contract by LinkedIn's sales team.

Premium Company Page: $99.99/month

This one upgrades your company's LinkedIn Page, not your profile: see who visited the Page, add a custom testimonial and credibility highlights, and auto-invite people who engage with your posts to follow it. A Page super admin who buys it together with an individual Premium plan gets 20% off the combined purchase (LinkedIn Help).

Is there a free trial of LinkedIn Premium?

Yes, for eligible members. LinkedIn offers one free month of its Premium plans, and Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite have their own free trials. You need a payment method, the trial turns into a paid subscription unless you cancel, and you can't start another trial if you've had one in the last 12 months. If you cancel during the trial, Premium stops immediately (LinkedIn Help).

Set a reminder a few days before the trial ends. Our guide on how to cancel LinkedIn Premium has the steps for desktop, iPhone and Android, plus LinkedIn's refund rules.

What LinkedIn Premium doesn't include

• Extra InMail credits. You can't buy InMails beyond your monthly allowance, and no plan offers unlimited InMail (LinkedIn Help). How credits roll over and come back is explained in what is InMail on LinkedIn.
• Job posts. Anyone can keep one free job post active at a time; promoted job posts are billed per click on a daily or total budget (LinkedIn Help). Only Premium All-in-One (with its $50 monthly hiring credit) and Recruiter Lite include job posting tools.
• Ads. Sponsored posts and message ads are bought in Campaign Manager, separately from any subscription.

Which LinkedIn Premium plan should you choose?

• Looking for a job: Premium Career, billed monthly, for the length of your search.
• Prospecting or networking a few hours a week: Premium Business.
• Prospecting every day: Sales Navigator Core, for the filters and lead lists.
• Hiring a few people a year: Recruiter Lite.
• Just curious about who views your profile: stay on the free account, which already shows your three most recent viewers.

Prospecting on LinkedIn without buying more InMails

If you're considering Premium Business or Sales Navigator mainly to reach prospects, the InMail allowance is the bottleneck: 15 or 50 messages a month. Most LinkedIn prospecting happens through connection requests and messages, which don't use credits. useArtemis exports leads from any LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search with its LinkedIn scraper, finds and verifies their emails, and runs sequences that mix invitations, messages and emails, with AI-written personalization and a human sending pace. Plans start at $69 a month (as of October 2026, see pricing).
