What LinkedIn used to charge
Prices move and the guides that quote them do not. This is the dated record of every LinkedIn list-price change we have verified — what it was, what it is, when it moved, and how we know.
✓ LinkedIn's plan pages re-checked
Hollow dot is the old price, solid is the current one. The gap between the two tiers halved, from $80 a month to $40 — which is why every Core-versus-Advanced comparison written before August describes a choice that no longer exists.
Every change we have verified
Newest first. Where LinkedIn rolled a change out gradually rather than on one day, the date is marked approximate rather than guessed at.
$99.99 / month$119.99 / monthincrease
The annual price moved with it, from $959.88 to $1,079.88. A year paid monthly is now $1,439.88, so the prepay saves $360 rather than the $240 it saved before.
How this was confirmed: Current figure read from LinkedIn’s own compare-plans page, which lists US$119.99/month and US$1,079.88/year per licence. The prior figure is the one LinkedIn published before the change and the one every guide written earlier still quotes.
$179.99 / month$159.99 / monthdecrease
Advanced went DOWN by $20 in the same pass that took Core UP by $20 — which is why a guide that updated one number and inferred the other is wrong in both directions. The annual price rose even as the monthly fell, so the annual discount on Advanced is now only about 6%.
How this was confirmed: Read from the same LinkedIn compare-plans page: US$159.99/month, US$1,799.88/year per licence.
$29.99 / month$39.99 / monthincrease
Rolled out per cohort rather than on one day: new subscribers see $39.99 while many existing ones stayed on the older rate. If your billing page disagrees with this figure, you are probably grandfathered — and that is worth knowing before you cancel and resubscribe.
How this was confirmed: Widely reported across independent 2026 pricing guides and consistent with LinkedIn’s current published figure. LinkedIn did not announce a single switch-over date.
The Sales Navigator reprice, in full
One tier rose and one fell on the same day, and the annual prices did not follow the monthly ones. This is the whole change in one table.
| Figure | Before 1 August 2026 | Now | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core, monthly | $99.99 | $119.99 | +$20 |
| Core, annual prepaid | $959.88 | $1,079.88 | +$120 |
| Core, a year paid monthly | $1,199.88 | $1,439.88 | +$240 |
| Advanced, monthly | $179.99 | $159.99 | −$20 |
| Advanced, annual prepaid | $1,799.88 | $1,799.88 | no change |
| Gap between Core and Advanced | $80 / month | $40 / month | halved |
The last row is the one that changes decisions: Advanced used to cost 80% more than Core and now costs 33% more, so the tier comparison every guide published before August no longer describes the choice. The feature difference is unchanged and is set out on Sales Navigator pricing.
Prices we have seen hold
Unchanged since we began recording.
We began keeping it in September 2026. We do not publish a longer history, because the only sources for it are secondary guides that round to the nearest ten dollars and disagree with each other — which is not a price record.
If your billing page shows a figure this site does not, tell us — corrections are made on the page with the date moved forward.
