Limits to plan around
- Up to 2,500 lead results (100 pages) or 1,000 account results (40 pages) per search.
- Up to 50 saved lead searches and 50 saved account searches.

Splitting a search that is too big is covered in the search limits guide.
Getting your leads out of Sales Navigator
LinkedIn does not offer a CSV or Excel export of leads or accounts on any plan. Its official route out is CRM Sync on Advanced Plus.
A filtered search is a list you will want in a spreadsheet.
If you are on Core or Advanced and want a spreadsheet, the options are copying rows by hand, a Sales Navigator scraper that runs in your browser, or a cloud tool. Our guide to export Sales Navigator leads compares them.
Know the rule before you pick one: LinkedIn's User Agreement prohibits scraping or copying the Services, including through browser plugins and add-ons, and LinkedIn says extensions may limit your searches or lead to restrictions. The safety guide covers that risk in full.
