Sales Navigator Alternative: Finding Is Not Contacting
Sales Navigator shows you who is out there. Then somebody still has to write. LinkedGrow does both halves. It reads your website, watches LinkedIn daily for the people who buy from you, and then opens the conversation from your own account with a note built from what they actually posted. No second LinkedIn subscription.

What is the best LinkedIn Sales Navigator alternative?
LinkedGrow, if what you need is conversations rather than searches. Sales Navigator costs $89.99 to $159.99 a seat and finds people without contacting any of them. LinkedGrow is $99 for the workspace, sources leads daily and opens the conversation from your own LinkedIn account.
Sales Navigator pricing, and what it costs next to LinkedGrow
Sales Navigator is priced per seat, and all three tiers include 50 InMail credits a month. Checked on 29 July 2026. Pricing moves, so confirm on their own page before you decide anything.
Sales Navigator
Per seat. Advanced search, saved searches, lead lists, 50 InMail credits.
Per seat. Adds the team and reporting features.
Priced on seat count and integrations. No public number.
LinkedGrow
The workspace. Daily sourcing, scoring, the full sequence, the agent AI, and 2 connected accounts.
3 connected accounts, teams, the public API and the MCP server.
Pro at $99 sits just above Core on annual billing and below Advanced, and it is the one that writes and sends. If your seat is producing lists that nobody has time to work, the money is already being spent on the half that does not close anything.
Two halves of the same job
Sales Navigator is a search engine over LinkedIn's data. LinkedGrow is an agent that acts on what it finds. Comparing them feature by feature misses that.
Finding people
Sales Navigator
The deepest filters available, saved searches, alerts and lead lists. Nothing matches it.
LinkedGrow
Daily sourcing against a profile read from your website, with the post that surfaced each lead attached.
Contacting them
Sales Navigator
Nothing automated. You write every message, and 50 InMail credits a month is the extent of the sending.
LinkedGrow
Visit, like, invitation with a note from their own words, one message, one follow-up, then stop.
What happens on a busy week
Sales Navigator
The searches keep running and the list keeps growing, unworked.
LinkedGrow
The sequence keeps running at the pace the account can carry, inside your office hours.
Price
Sales Navigator
$89.99 to $159.99 per seat, and Advanced Plus is quoted.
LinkedGrow
$99 for the workspace on Pro, $179 on Business, with the agent AI included.
Four jobs it does every day, without being asked.
LinkedIn outreach automation that behaves: set it up in four minutes, then it runs by itself inside working hours, at the pace of a careful person who genuinely wants the reply.
It works out who your buyers actually are
It reads your website, names your ideal customer in plain language, lists the competitors who share your audience, and shows you the whole thing before it touches LinkedIn.
It finds those people, with the receipt attached
Anyone engaging with your competitors, asking about your problem out loud, or who just landed a role where they choose the tools. Every lead links to the exact post it came from, so you can read their real words before you say anything.
It writes from what they said, never from their headline
A profile visit and a genuine like first, so your name is not brand new when the invitation lands. Then one note built from their actual comment, one follow-up, and nothing at all after that.
It brings you the answer, then stays out of the way
It answers for a few turns, reads what comes back, and closes a no thanks quietly without bothering you. The moment a thread turns into real interest it stops writing and emails you the person, their words and the messages that led there.
Find the leads and fill next week
from a single prompt
LinkedGrow speaks MCP, so an assistant can drive it directly. Ask for your warmest leads, have next week's posts written, schedule them across the days you want. One URL to connect, no code, about two minutes.
Via ChatGPT
Find the people worth talking to and draft the messages, without leaving the chat you already have open.
Via OpenClaw
Run it from the agent platform you already automate with, on your own schedule, with no browser open at all.
Via Claude Code
Write next week from the terminal you already live in, then have it scheduled without opening a tab.
Via Hermes
Hand the whole loop to an autonomous agent: it finds the leads, drafts the messages, fills next week's calendar, and reports back.
Via Grok Bot
Message it the way you would a teammate. It reads who answered overnight, drafts what to say back, and leaves the sending to you.
One endpoint per workspace, one setting to paste, about two minutes. Nothing publishes and nothing sends on its own: every write lands as something you can read and cancel in the dashboard.
Included on ProOne price, and the agent needs nothing else.
No credits to run out of, no proxy invoice arriving separately at the end of the month, and no AI bill for anything your agent does. Writing your own posts is the one part that runs on your own AI key, which is what keeps it unlimited for a few dollars a month.

Sales Navigator is the best search on LinkedIn, and only that
Nothing else has the same access to LinkedIn's own data. The filters go deeper than public search, saved searches alert you when somebody new matches, and lead lists keep the whole thing organised. As a research tool it is genuinely without equal.
What it does not do is anything after you find somebody. You still open each profile, still decide what to say, still type it, still remember to follow up next Tuesday. The 50 InMail credits are the only sending included, and even those are written by hand.
So the honest description is a very good telescope. It shows you exactly who is out there, at $89.99 to $159.99 a seat, and then the work starts. Most teams that cancel it do so because the searches were excellent and nobody had time to act on them.
The half that turns a list into conversations
LinkedGrow starts where Sales Navigator stops. You give it your website address, it works out who buys from you, and it watches LinkedIn every working day for those people. Anyone engaging with a competitor, asking about your problem in public, or newly in the seat that owns it.
Then it acts. A profile visit, a genuine like, an invitation carrying a note built from something that person actually wrote, one message once they accept, one follow-up, and a stop. Every reply cancels the rest and lands in a single inbox with the original post beside it.
It also runs from your ordinary LinkedIn account, so there is no second LinkedIn subscription inside the price. The agent works your own profile at the pace it has earned, inside your office hours, from a dedicated address that never changes.
Keeping both, which many people should
These are complements more than substitutes. Sales Navigator is where a salesperson does deliberate research on a named account, builds a map of who reports to whom, and reads before a meeting. That is a human job and a good one.
The agent covers the volume half: the steady weekly flow of people who just became relevant, approached while it still matters. If your Sales Navigator seat is mostly generating lists nobody works, replacing it is reasonable. If somebody genuinely researches in it every week, keep it and let the agent handle the rest.
Questions about the Sales Navigator alternative
Short answers to what people ask before they switch.
Write one line about what you sell and we will answer honestly.
Email us directlyCore is $119.99 a seat monthly and $89.99 on annual billing. Advanced is $159.99 monthly and $149.99 annual. Advanced Plus is quoted. All three include 50 InMail credits a month, and every tier is priced per seat.
That depends on what you use it for. As a search engine over LinkedIn's data it has no real equal. If what you actually want is conversations rather than saved searches, LinkedGrow does the finding and then does the contacting, which Sales Navigator never has.
No. It surfaces people, saves searches and alerts you to changes, and then you write every message yourself. The 50 InMail credits are the only sending it includes, and they are manual too.
Not for the agent to work. It runs from your ordinary LinkedIn account, so there is no second subscription in the price. Plenty of people keep Sales Navigator for their own manual research, and the two do not interfere.
Pro is $99 a month against $89.99 to $159.99 a seat, so they are close on the headline and one of them also writes and sends. Comparing the two on price alone understates it, because they cover different halves of the same job.
A list nobody works is not a pipeline.
Give the agent your website address. It finds the people who buy from you, writes from what they posted, and opens the conversation from your own LinkedIn account, without a second LinkedIn subscription.
