How to cancel Sales Navigator accounts (step-by-step)

If you've decided that Sales Navigator isn't worth the price anymore, canceling your plan is very easy.

The process is exactly the same for Sales Navigator Core and Sales Navigator Advanced.

Here's how to do it step by step:

Step 1 - Open your LinkedIn account

Click your profile picture in the top right, then select "Settings & Privacy".

Step 2 - Go to your subscription settings

Inside "Account preferences", click "Subscriptions & payments", then select "Manage Premium account".

Step 3 - Open the cancellation options

You will see different actions like switching your plan or managing your billing. Click "Cancel subscription".

How to cancel multiple licenses with Sales Navigator Advanced accounts

If you're the only user on the account, managing or deleting your license is very easy.

But if you have multiple seats, you may need to remove one user, free a license, or reduce the total number of seats.

If you're an admin who purchased Sales Navigator online, here's what to do:

1. Open Sales Navigator — Sign in, click "Admin" in the top navigation, then go to "Admin Settings". From there, select "Manage Your Account".
2. Remove or adjust licenses — Under "Purchases", click "Sales Navigator", then choose "Return Purchases".
3. Choose how many seats to remove — A pop-up will appear. Enter the number of licenses you want to return. The change is applied instantly, and LinkedIn will issue a prorated refund.

If your account was purchased through a LinkedIn account executive, you'll need to contact your sales rep directly for any license changes.

6 Alternatives before canceling Sales Navigator

Canceling isn't always your only option. If Sales Navigator feels too expensive or too advanced, try one of these alternatives first:

Alternative 1 - Downgrade your plan

Instead of canceling completely, switch to Sales Navigator Core or even LinkedIn Premium.

You'll still keep useful features like InMail credits and have good LinkedIn limits while paying less.

Alternative 2 - Pause your subscription

If you only use Sales Navigator during specific periods, pausing can help you save money.

Alternative 3 - Reduce the number of licenses

For teams, removing unused seats can cut your bill without changing how your core users work.
