LinkedIn Premium Pricing 2026: Career, Business, All-in-One and More

As of November 2026, LinkedIn lists Premium Career at US$39.99 per month or US$239.88 per year, and Premium Business at US$69.99 per month or US$539.88 per year. Premium All-in-One is listed at US$89.99 per month or US$899.88 per year, Sales Navigator starts at US$119.99 per month, and Recruiter Lite shows no price on the page I loaded. I run Ecommerce Paradise, and if you sell online you may be weighing which LinkedIn plan is worth paying for once you start reaching out to suppliers, wholesale buyers and partners.

This guide covers every plan as it appears on LinkedIn’s own US pages, the monthly versus annual math, the free trial wording, how cancellation and refunds work, and who should skip Premium entirely. Where LinkedIn’s pages do not show something, such as the trial length in days or the Recruiter Lite price, I say so and tell you where to look. LinkedIn is not an affiliate partner of mine, so there are no affiliate links in this article.

LinkedIn Premium Pricing at a Glance (November 2026)

Source: the Career prices come from the Premium Career page. The Business prices come from the Premium Business page. The All-in-One prices come from LinkedIn’s All-in-One page, covered below, and all three carry a pricing update stamp of April 20, 2026. The Sales Navigator figures come from the compare plans page I cover below. LinkedIn says its prices are estimates, may exclude VAT, GST or promotional discounts, are subject to change and may vary slightly by device type. Your checkout screen is the final word.

What Individual and Duo Mean

On the Career and Business pages, LinkedIn lists two ways to buy: Individual and Duo. Individual is one license for one person. Both pages describe Duo as letting two people each have their own license under one shared subscription, which means you and a partner, a co-founder or a team member can split a single bill.

There is one wrinkle in the wording. LinkedIn labels the Duo prices “per license,” yet the Career Duo figure ($59.98 a month) is higher than the Individual figure ($39.99), and the Business FAQ talks about a lower combined price. For that reason I read the Duo figures as the combined price for both licenses. The pages are not fully clear on this, so confirm it at checkout before you rely on the numbers below.

On that reading, the savings are real but modest. Two Individual Business licenses on monthly billing would cost $139.98 a month (2 times $69.99), while Duo is $118.98, so Duo saves $21.00 a month. On annual billing, two Individual licenses cost $1,079.76 (2 times $539.88) against $917.98 for Duo, which saves $161.78 a year. Per person, Duo would work out to $458.99 a year on the annual plan.

Premium Career: The Job-Search Plan

Premium Career is the cheapest paid plan, at $39.99 a month or $239.88 a year for one license. It is built for people who are job hunting, changing careers or trying to be found by recruiters. LinkedIn lists profile writing assistance, AI-powered insights on job posts, Top Applicant jobs, Top Choice jobs, advanced search filters, a message proofreader for outreach to recruiters, and 5 InMail credits a month.

Two features tend to decide the purchase. The first is who has viewed your profile, which LinkedIn lists as viewer history for the past 365 days on the Career page, along with anonymous browsing. The second is LinkedIn Learning, which the page puts at more than 25,000 courses, plus AI-powered coaching inside LinkedIn Learning. The Career plans page also says Career subscribers get 24/7 chat support through an AI-powered assistant in select languages, plus live expert chat during business hours, and that paid subscribers may be eligible for partner offers called Premium Perks, with eligibility and availability varying by country.

The plain-English summary: Career is a job-search subscription, not a business-building one. If you run a store and want a steady income while it grows, the job-seeker features may matter. My roundup of the best sites for remote jobs compares other places to look for work, and several of them cost nothing.

Premium Business: The Outreach and Visibility Plan

Premium Business costs $69.99 a month or $539.88 a year for one license. LinkedIn aims it at your personal profile, with features that highlight your expertise, raise your visibility and let you contact people outside your network. The page lists 15 InMail credits a month, unlimited profile browsing beyond your immediate network, advanced search filters with unlimited search for people and companies, suggested warm introductions, business insights such as company growth trends and hiring activity, and the same 25,000-plus LinkedIn Learning courses.

It also lists profile viewer data, AI-powered profile suggestions, a Featured section with up to five cover images and a custom call-to-action button, and exclusive Premium placements for profile visibility. One inconsistency is worth knowing about: the Business page’s FAQ describes viewer data for the past 90 days, while a feature section says up to 365 days. I would check that detail on your own screen if profile views are the reason you are buying.

For a store owner, Business is the plan that maps to supplier and wholesale outreach. The 15 monthly InMail credits let you message decision makers you are not connected to, and the unlimited people and company search helps you build a target list. If you are still working out where to source products, start with my guide on how to find suppliers for high-ticket dropshipping, because a clear target list makes any paid search tool more useful.

Premium All-in-One: The Newest Tier

LinkedIn’s Premium home page lists All-in-One next to Career, Business and Company Page. The All-in-One page shows $89.99 a month or $899.88 a year per license, with a stated 17 percent annual saving. It lists prospecting and hiring tools, such as 15 daily prospect suggestions, unlimited search with advanced filters, 30 InMail credits a month, post boosting, and hiring credits through LinkedIn Hiring Pro. The page does not say that All-in-One includes everything in Business, so I will not claim that. LinkedIn’s compare plans page for small business plans is the place to check which features overlap.

The credits are the part that confuses people, so here is what the page says. Paying subscribers receive $50 a month in hiring credits and $50 a month in post-boosting credits. Annual subscribers receive $600 of each credit type upfront. A free trial is described as including $100 in post-boosting credits and $100 in hiring credits for the first month. The page also says the product is currently available to a limited group and rolling out to select users, so you may not see it when you sign in.

Sales Navigator: The Dedicated Sales Tool

Sales Navigator is a separate product from Premium, with its own plans and billing. LinkedIn lists Core at $119.99 a month or $1,079.88 a year and Advanced at $159.99 a month or $1,799.88 a year, per license, while Advanced Plus has no public price and is quoted after a demo request. The prices come from the Sales Navigator compare plans page, which stamps its pricing answer as updated on September 27, 2026.

I wrote a full breakdown of the plans, the feature table, seat rules and worked cost examples in my LinkedIn Sales Navigator pricing guide, so I will not repeat it here. The short version is that Sales Navigator is for people who prospect every week, and a plain Premium Business plan is the cheaper step for occasional outreach.

Recruiter Lite: Hiring Without the Full Recruiter License

Recruiter Lite is LinkedIn’s lighter hiring product. LinkedIn describes it as best for individuals hiring just a few people a year, as opposed to the full Recruiter product for people who hire more than a few a year. The page lists 30 InMail credits a month per license, 20-plus search filters, saved search alerts, daily candidate recommendations, saved message templates, collaboration licenses for hiring managers and basic reporting.

What the page does not show is a price. The only dollar figure on the Recruiter Lite page is a “Try for $0” button, and the page points to a Contact sales button for the full Recruiter plan. I am not going to quote a monthly or annual figure for Lite because it is not on the page I could load, and third-party numbers go stale quickly. The way to get the real number is to click the trial button while logged in and read the checkout screen before you confirm.

Monthly vs Annual Billing: The Math

Annual billing is where LinkedIn Premium gets cheaper, and the discount varies a lot by plan. I rechecked each figure using the listed prices.

• Career: 12 months at $39.99 is $479.88. The annual price is $239.88, so you save $240.00, exactly 50 percent.
• Business: 12 months at $69.99 is $839.88. The annual price is $539.88, so you save $300.00, about 35.7 percent, which LinkedIn rounds to 36 percent.
• All-in-One: 12 months at $89.99 is $1,079.88. The annual price is $899.88, so you save $180.00, about 16.7 percent, which LinkedIn rounds to 17 percent.

The Break-Even Point for Paying Yearly

To see how long you must keep a plan for annual billing to win, divide the annual price by the monthly price.

• Career: $239.88 divided by $39.99 is 6.0 months. Stay longer than six months and annual is cheaper.
• Business: $539.88 divided by $69.99 is about 7.7 months.
• All-in-One: $899.88 divided by $89.99 is 10.0 months.
• Sales Navigator Core: $1,079.88 divided by $119.99 is 9.0 months.

If you are not sure you will use the tool that long, monthly billing costs more per month but caps your downside. For example, three months of Business on monthly billing costs 3 times $69.99, which is $209.97, while the annual plan is $539.88 up front. Three months of Career on monthly billing costs $119.97, and six months costs $239.94, which is about the same as the full annual price of $239.88.

What a Fully Used InMail Credit Costs

InMail credits let you message people you are not connected to, so they are the most obvious measurable perk for outreach. The table below divides each plan’s monthly price by its monthly credits. It is my arithmetic and assumes you use every credit, which most people do not.

This is a rough comparison, not a rule. You are also paying for search, profile and learning features, and many people never use their InMail at all. Still, it shows that Career is a poor choice if outreach is the goal, and that the cost per message falls as you move up the ladder.

The Free Trial: What LinkedIn Says

LinkedIn offers a free trial, but the length is not printed on the pages I loaded. The Premium home page says eligible members can try Premium for free and that a member who redeemed a trial in the last 12 months is not eligible for another. The Career and Business pages say to start your free trial and describe it as easy to cancel, and each tells you to click the trial button to check whether you qualify. You will often see a one-month trial mentioned elsewhere, but because LinkedIn’s pages do not state the length, I will not either. The button inside your account is where the real terms show.

The Sales Navigator compare page adds rules that are worth reading even if you are only looking at Premium, because they show how LinkedIn handles trials in general. A trial is available to members who are not on any paid LinkedIn subscription and who have not used a LinkedIn free trial in the past 365 days. LinkedIn asks for payment information, lets you cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged, and sends an email reminder seven days before the trial expires. That reminder detail is stated for Sales Navigator, so do not assume it applies to Premium. LinkedIn’s Career plans page also says some paid subscribers can claim Premium Perks after a first payment.

My rule is simple. Put a calendar reminder on the day you start, write down the three searches or messages you want to test, and decide before the trial ends whether those tests produced anything. If you cannot name a result, cancel.

How to Cancel LinkedIn Premium

LinkedIn’s help pages block automated reading, so I could not load the step-by-step cancellation instructions. What the Career plans page does say is useful. It says you can cancel for any reason, that Premium features expire at the end of your billing cycle, and that a subscription may be refundable within 7 days from the date it is charged if you have not used Premium features. The word may matters, since the page does not promise a refund.

That means the sensible approach is to cancel before the renewal date, not after it. If you are on a monthly plan, cancelling mid-month still leaves you with the plan until the end of that period. If you are on an annual plan, the same logic applies at the end of the year, so cancelling a few weeks early avoids a surprise charge. For the exact menu path, sign in and look for the Premium or subscriptions area in your account settings, and use LinkedIn’s Help Center for the current wording. If you subscribed through a mobile app store, the subscription is usually managed in that store, so check there.

Is LinkedIn Premium Worth It? Who It Fits

Here is my opinion, based on the plans as LinkedIn describes them. It is not a ranking of what is best for everyone.

• Career fits an active job seeker or career changer who will use the job insights and LinkedIn Learning for a defined stretch, ideally on a short monthly term.
• Business fits an owner who needs to message suppliers, distributors or wholesale buyers outside their network and wants unlimited search, and who will do that weekly.
• All-in-One fits someone who wants prospecting, post boosting and hiring credits bundled, if it is available to them.
• Sales Navigator fits people who prospect daily and want team features.
• Recruiter Lite fits someone hiring a few people a year and willing to confirm the price at checkout.
• The free account fits everyone who is still testing whether LinkedIn brings them leads at all.

A Simple Break-Even Test for Store Owners

Take your average gross profit per sale and divide the plan’s yearly cost by it. If a wholesale or B2B sale earns you $400 in gross profit, Business on annual billing at $539.88 needs 539.88 divided by 400, which is 1.35, so two extra sales in the year cover it. On monthly billing for a full year, $839.88 divided by $400 is 2.1, so three sales. If your gross profit per sale is $150, annual Business needs 3.6, so four sales. These are examples of the arithmetic, not predictions of what you will earn. Longer B2B sales cycles also affect the math, and I wrote about marketing high-ticket products with long sales cycles.

The catch is that the plan only pays off if you send the messages and follow up. If you are new to this model, my explainer on what high-ticket dropshipping is shows how a consumer-facing store finds its buyers without LinkedIn. If you sell consumer products through ads and search, your buyers are not browsing LinkedIn, and the money is better spent on traffic and suppliers. My list of high-ticket niches starts with demand for that reason.

Costs Outside the Sticker Price

The subscription is only part of the cost of using LinkedIn well. LinkedIn says the listed prices may exclude VAT, GST or promotional discounts, so tax and your local currency can change the total. Beyond that, plan for three things.

• Your time. A Premium plan does not write messages or follow up for you, and unused InMail credits are wasted money.
• A place to track conversations. A spreadsheet works at first. When you outgrow it, my Zoho CRM pricing guide shows what a paid CRM costs.
• Email tools, if you pair LinkedIn research with cold email. That is a separate subscription with its own rules.

It is also a business expense, so run it through a business account. If you have not separated your store from your personal finances yet, my guide to business formation for high-ticket dropshipping explains how an LLC and a business bank account keep software subscriptions like this one clean. I am not a CPA, so ask your accountant whether a subscription like this is deductible for you.

Email Rules If You Pair It With Cold Outreach

Many sellers find a contact on LinkedIn and then email them. If you do, the federal CAN-SPAM rules apply to commercial email. The FTC’s guide says the law makes no exception for business-to-business email, requires your valid physical postal address in each message, and says you must honor opt-out requests within 10 business days. It lists penalties of up to $53,088 per violating email, and the page carries an edit note dated January 2024 for inflation-adjusted maximums, so the current amount may differ.

You can read the full requirements in the FTC CAN-SPAM compliance guide. This is general information and not legal advice.

Alternatives and Ways to Keep the Bill Low

If you want contact data without a LinkedIn subscription, my Lusha review looks at a B2B contact data tool. My Instantly vs Apollo comparison covers sending-first versus data-first outreach platforms. The cheapest alternative is also the plainest one: a free LinkedIn profile, a short list of target companies and a spreadsheet. If that test produces replies, a paid plan becomes easier to justify.

• Start with the free account and the trial, and write down the searches you will run on day one.
• Pick the cheapest plan that has the one feature you can name. Do not buy All-in-One for features you will not touch.
• Use monthly billing for the first month or two, then switch to annual only if the tool earned its place.
• Check the price on your own screen, because LinkedIn says its listed prices are estimates and can change.
• Cancel before renewal if you are not using it, keeping in mind that features run to the end of the paid period.

What I Could Not Verify

I want to be clear about the limits of this guide. The free trial length is not printed on the pages I loaded. The Recruiter Lite price is not shown. The InMail allowance for the Duo plans and for Sales Navigator is not confirmed on the pages I loaded. LinkedIn labels the Duo prices “per license” while the figures look like combined prices for two licenses, so my reading of them is an assumption to confirm at checkout. The pages I loaded do not state that All-in-One includes everything in Business. The pricing pages for Career, Business and All-in-One carry an April 20, 2026 update stamp, so check the live page for anything newer. I could not load LinkedIn’s Help Center, so I have no exact cancellation menu path. The Career plans page lists 5 InMails a month under a limited heading without making clear which plan includes it, and I used the 5-credit figure from the Career page itself.

This article is general information and not financial, tax or legal advice. Prices and terms change, so check LinkedIn before you buy. The figures here were read from LinkedIn’s Premium site and its sales and talent pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does LinkedIn Premium cost?
As of November 2026, LinkedIn lists Premium Career at US$39.99 a month or US$239.88 a year, Premium Business at US$69.99 a month or US$539.88 a year, and Premium All-in-One at US$89.99 a month or US$899.88 a year. Duo plans for two licenses are also listed on the Career and Business pages. LinkedIn says prices are estimates and may exclude taxes.

Does LinkedIn Premium have a free trial?
Yes, eligible members can try Premium for free. LinkedIn says a member who redeemed a trial in the last 12 months is not eligible for another. The pages I loaded do not state the trial length, so click the trial button in your account to see the terms before you start.

How do I cancel LinkedIn Premium?
LinkedIn says you can cancel for any reason and that Premium features expire at the end of your billing cycle. A subscription may be refundable within 7 days of the charge if you have not used Premium features. I could not load the Help Center steps, so look in your account settings for the subscription area.

Is annual billing worth it?
Annual billing saves 50 percent on Career, 36 percent on Business and 17 percent on All-in-One, according to LinkedIn. By my math, annual wins on Career after 6 months, on Business after about 7.7 months and on All-in-One after 10 months, so it only pays if you keep the plan that long.

What does Recruiter Lite cost?
The Recruiter Lite page does not show a monthly or annual price, only a “Try for $0” button, so I will not quote a figure. The page lists 30 InMail credits a month and says Lite suits people hiring just a few a year. Start the trial and read the checkout screen to see the real price.
