Can I use LinkedIn without a paid subscription?
A free plan does not include LinkedIn. A paid plan includes LinkedIn from your browser: Pro 1 account, Enterprise 4, Ultimate 10. A trial includes the allowance of the plan you are trying. AppSumo lifetime plans include it from Tier 2, as an added benefit: Tier 1 none, Tier 2 one, Tier 3 two, Tier 4 three, Tier 5 four, Tier 6 five free accounts.
A Cloud seat is separate. It is a paid add-on on any paid plan, including AppSumo, at $12/month per seat, and it is what you need for campaigns that keep running with your laptop closed, plus multichannel sequences, multi-account rotation, InMail, post engagement and skill endorsements.
To get started:
- Start a paid plan, or a trial, from the Billing page
- For the free browser extension, install it from /linkedin-extension and connect it under LinkedIn → Accounts → Connect → Run from your browser
- For a Cloud seat, add the seat on the Billing page, then connect the account
If you have no plan, LinkedIn stays locked on the Billing page until you choose one. See /documentation/linkedin-from-your-browser and /documentation/linkedin-browser-or-cloud-seat.
