LinkedIn Sales Navigator costs $119.99 a month for Core and $159.99 a month for Advanced. Advanced Plus is priced on request.
That's the short answer. The longer one is what you actually get for the money, what it costs in India, how the free trial works, and whether it pays off for your team. This guide covers all of it in plain terms.
It also covers the cost most pricing guides skip: Sales Navigator helps you find the right person, but it doesn't give you their phone number or email on any plan. We'll show you how to close that gap without paying for another expensive seat. Want the free methods first? See how to get email and phone number from LinkedIn →
What Each Sales Navigator Plan Includes
All three plans give you Sales Navigator's lead and account search, saved searches with alerts, and InMail credits. The difference is how much team and CRM support you get.
| Plan | Price (USD) | Best for | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core | $119.99/month $1,079.88/year | Individual sellers, founders | Advanced lead and account search, saved searches, lead alerts, InMail credits |
| Advanced | $159.99/month $1,799.88/year | Sales teams | Everything in Core, plus 50+ advanced filters, Buyer Intent, Account IQ and Lead IQ, and team seat management with central billing |
| Advanced Plus | Custom quote | Larger teams using a CRM | Everything in Advanced, plus CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle and more) and lead/contact creation in your CRM |

Which plan should you pick? If you prospect on your own, Core is enough, and paying yearly saves 25%. Choose Advanced when you manage a team and want shared billing and buyer-intent signals. Advanced Plus only makes sense if you need Sales Navigator to sync with your CRM.
LinkedIn Sales Navigator Price in India
LinkedIn's public pricing page lists prices in US dollars, pounds, euros, Australian dollars and Canadian dollars. It doesn't publish an official rupee price. If you're in India:
- Start the checkout or free trial from your LinkedIn account to see the exact local price for your region.
- Expect GST to be added on top of the listed price.
- Your bank may add currency conversion charges if you're billed in USD.
For Indian teams, the bigger question is usually value. Many decision-makers at Indian SMEs and family-run businesses are barely active on LinkedIn. If that's your market, you may get more from director data through a DIN number search than from a Sales Navigator seat.

Free LinkedIn vs Sales Navigator — What You Get When You Pay
Free LinkedIn search caps you at 1,000 results and 10 per page, with a monthly limit on how many searches you can run. Sales Navigator removes that search limit, raises the result cap to 2,500, shows 25 results per page, and adds advanced lead and account filters, including Spotlight filters like "Changed jobs in past 90 days" and "Posted on LinkedIn in past 30 days".
Hover any row for the exact multiplier.

What the upgrade does not change is what happens after you find someone. You still get a LinkedIn profile and an InMail, but no phone number or email. LinkedIn's plan comparison page doesn't list contact details on any tier, because Sales Navigator is a targeting and research tool.
Is LinkedIn Sales Navigator Worth It?
At $1,079.88 a year for Core, Sales Navigator pays for itself if it helps you close even one extra deal worth a few thousand dollars. It's usually worth it when:
- You sell B2B with a deal size of roughly $5,000 or more.
- You run many searches a month and hit the free search limit.
- Your buyers are active on LinkedIn.
It's often not worth it for low-value, high-volume sales, or if your buyers rarely use LinkedIn. And whichever case you're in, you only get the value if you use the filters well. Here's how.
Get your money's worth: the filter stack that finds decision-makers
Most searches fail because filters get applied in a random order, giving you either 40,000 results or 3. The order below — industry, job title, seniority, geography, company size — usually gives the tightest usable list, because each step removes the most noise first.
Try it with an example: VP-level Operations leaders at mid-market manufacturing companies. Click each filter in order and watch the match count drop. The numbers are illustrative, but the narrowing works the same way in Sales Navigator.
The Cost Nobody Mentions: No Phone Numbers or Emails
Your only built-in way to reach people is InMail, and Core gives you 50 credits a month. Industry benchmarks commonly put InMail response rates between 10% and 25%. For senior buyers, that's a channel problem, not a copywriting problem.
RAIN Group's research found that 57% of C-level and VP buyers prefer to be contacted by phone, more than directors (51%) or managers (47%). Bridge Group's 2021 report found phone-centric SDRs hold 6.8 quality conversations a day, versus 3.3 for email-centric reps. The more senior the buyer, the more a phone call beats a message in an inbox.
Even strong InMail campaigns leave most senior buyers unanswered. That's not a reason to drop InMail. It's a reason to make sure the same decision-maker is also reachable by mobile when InMail goes quiet.
That's the gap CookLeads fills. The LinkedIn phone number finder adds the mobile number Sales Navigator leaves out. Email-only results are free, and under the No Mobile, No Charge policy, if no mobile is found, zero credits are used.
How to Get a Verified Mobile Number from Sales Navigator
Once your filters have narrowed to a workable list, here's how to go from a Sales Navigator profile to a verified mobile number.
| Step | Sales Navigator Alone | Sales Navigator + CookLeads |
|---|---|---|
| Reach the person | InMail only — 50/month on Core | Verified mobile + email + InMail |
| Senior buyer response | 10-25% InMail benchmark | Call their verified mobile directly |
| Contacts per click | Not available | Up to 25 profiles per click |
| Cost if mobile not found | — | 0 credits — No Mobile, No Charge |
| CSV / CRM export | No email or phone to export | No extra credits — Zero Export Tax |
