LinkedIn Premium costs between $29.99 and $99.99+ per month in 2026 depending on the plan: Premium Career (~$29.99/mo) for job seekers, Premium Business (~$59.99/mo) for professionals, and Sales Navigator Core (~$99.99/mo) for sales prospecting. Annual billing cuts the price by roughly 20–33%. All plans include InMail, profile-view data and LinkedIn Learning.

Features every plan shares
- InMail credits — message anyone without a connection (5–50/month depending on plan)
- Who Viewed Your Profile — the full 90-day list, not just the last 5 viewers
- LinkedIn Learning — the complete course library included
- Salary & company insights — deeper data than free accounts
- Open Profile — anyone can message you free, even without Premium
Which plan fits you
- Job hunting? Premium Career. The applicant-insight and Featured Applicant features are built for exactly that.
- Growing a business network or personal brand? Premium Business adds the search and company data that matter.
- Outbound B2B prospecting? Sales Navigator — its advanced lead search and lists are the reason it exists; Premium plans aren't a substitute.
Is the price justified?
At roughly $360/year for Premium Career, the math works if it lands you a job even one week faster — that's a fraction of a week's salary. The same logic applies to Sales Navigator: one closed deal pays for a year. If you won't use the headline features weekly, though, the free tier covers basic networking and applications.
How to pay less
LinkedIn offers a free one-month trial of every plan — time it with active use. DigitalTools also sells LinkedIn Premium subscriptions at below-retail prices with instant activation on your own account, which undercuts both monthly and annual direct pricing.
