LinkedIn plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 3 | Entry tier |
| Premium Career | $29.99/month | 3 | +$29.99/month, 3 more features |
| Premium Business | $59.99/month | 3 | +$30.000000000000004/month, 3 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

Before you pay for LinkedIn
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $59.99/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
LinkedIn runs on ios, android, web, and is published by Microsoft Corporation of Sunnyvale, California. The full record is on the LinkedIn review.
LinkedIn pricing questions
- How much does LinkedIn cost?
- LinkedIn publishes 3 tiers, from Free for Free up to $59.99/month for Premium Business. The entry tier costs nothing.
- Does LinkedIn have a free plan?
- Yes. The Free tier costs nothing and covers profile, networking, job search. Paying starts at $29.99/month for Premium Career.
- What is the difference between Free and Premium Career on LinkedIn?
- Premium Career costs $29.99/month against Free, and adds inmail, see who viewed, applicant insights.
- Is the Premium Business plan on LinkedIn worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is unlimited search, business insights, learning courses. It costs $59.99/month against $29.99/month for Premium Career. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with LinkedIn?
- The record lists 11 features across 3 areas: core, integrations, platform.
- Does LinkedIn charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these LinkedIn prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare LinkedIn against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to LinkedIn to make a useful price comparison.
