How many InMail credits you get
50 a month on Core, Advanced and Advanced Plus alike. LinkedIn says all Sales Navigator subscription types provide the same number of credits.
| Subscription | InMail per month | Maximum balance |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Career | 5 | 15 |
| Premium Business | 15 | 45 |
| Recruiter Lite | 30 | 120 |
| Sales Navigator (any plan) | 50 | 150 |
Rollover and refunds
- Unused credits carry over to the next month, up to 150 in total.
- Credits must be used within 90 days.
- You get one credit back for each InMail that receives a response within 90 days of sending.
- You cannot buy additional InMail credits.
- Premium InMail credits cannot be used in Sales Navigator and do not transfer when you upgrade.
Making 50 credits go further
Because replies refund credits, a better reply rate means more InMail. Send InMail to leads who are likely to answer: recent job changers, people who viewed your profile, and leads with a shared connection (see TeamLink). Use connection requests and email for the rest of the list.
For email, move the list to a spreadsheet and add addresses with an enrichment tool. Our email enrichment guide shows the order of steps.
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.
Most teams use InMail for the top of a list and email for the rest, which means the list has to leave Sales Navigator.
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.
