Watch: how to cancel, step by step
How to cancel on the web
This is for LinkedIn Premium (Career, Business) and Sales Navigator Core bought on linkedin.com.
- Sign in on the LinkedIn website on a computer. You can't cancel a web purchase in the iPhone app.
- Click Me (your photo) in the top bar, then Settings & Privacy.
- Open Account preferences and scroll to Subscriptions & payments.
- Click Manage Premium account.
- For Premium, click Cancel subscription and follow the steps. For Sales Navigator Core, click Manage Subscription: LinkedIn Admin Center opens. Go to Purchases, pick the subscription and choose Cancel subscription under Actions.
Your plan stays active until the end of the billing cycle, then the account goes back to free LinkedIn Basic. Cancel at least one day before your billing date. If you're on a free trial, canceling ends it right away.
If you pay through the App Store or Google Play
If you bought Premium in the LinkedIn mobile app, Apple or Google bills you.
- iPhone or iPad: open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions > LinkedIn > Cancel Subscription.
- Android: open Google Play, tap your profile picture, then Payments and subscriptions > Subscriptions > LinkedIn and cancel.
Bought Premium on the LinkedIn website but only have an iPhone? LinkedIn processed that payment, so you'll need to cancel on the desktop website. The iPhone app doesn't offer cancellation for web purchases.
Team and enterprise plans: the admin route
Sales Navigator Advanced bought online is canceled by the purchaser admin:
- Sign in to Sales Navigator and click Admin in the top menu.
- Click Admin Center. LinkedIn Admin Center opens.
- Click Purchases in the left menu and select the subscription on the Active tab.
- Under Actions, choose Cancel subscription and follow the steps.
Sales Navigator Advanced Plus, Recruiter and other plans bought through a LinkedIn sales rep are contracts. Contact your LinkedIn account team before the renewal date.
Got your seat from your employer? You can't cancel it yourself. Ask your Sales Navigator admin to remove you.
Downgrade or remove seats instead of canceling
LinkedIn spending often hides in places finance doesn't see. Before canceling everything, check these:
- Expensed Premium subscriptions. Many employees pay for Premium Business or Sales Navigator Core on their own card and expense it each month. Several people doing this can cost more than one managed team plan.
- Sales Navigator seats for people who left or changed roles. The admin can reassign or remove seats in Sales Navigator Admin instead of buying new ones.
- A cheaper Premium plan. If someone only needs InMail now and then, Premium Career or Business may be enough instead of Sales Navigator. You can switch plans from Manage Premium account.
Subscope helps here: it shows which LinkedIn subscriptions your company pays for and who actually uses them, so you can consolidate instead of paying several times.
What happens to your data
Your LinkedIn profile, connections and messages stay when you cancel. After the billing cycle ends, you lose Premium features like InMail credits, the full Who Viewed Your Profile list, LinkedIn Learning, the Premium badge and advanced search filters.
For Sales Navigator, you lose access to saved leads and accounts, lists and notes when the subscription ends. Copy anything important into your CRM before you cancel.
Want to delete your LinkedIn account entirely? Cancel Sales Navigator first, because you can't close an account that still has an active Sales Navigator subscription.
