What are LinkedIn limits?

Understand LinkedIn profile view limits, how to avoid account restrictions while using SalesQL, and which features work without LinkedIn.

In short

  • Basic LinkedIn accounts typically allow around 200 profile views per day, and LinkedIn may change its limits at any time.
  • Recommended profile views are 500 per day on Sales Navigator and 1000 per day on Recruiter and Recruiter Lite.
  • To get contacts without working from LinkedIn, use CSV Enrichment, the SalesQL API, or Prospector.

LinkedIn has different usage limits, but when using SalesQL only profile view limits are essential.

LinkedIn profile view limits vary depending on the type of LinkedIn account being used.

These limits are in place to ensure that users are using the platform responsibly and not spamming or excessively viewing profiles. LinkedIn may temporarily restrict your account from viewing additional profiles if you exceed the limits.

To prevent potential LinkedIn account restrictions, it is advisable:

  1. Stay within the profile view limits and avoid an unusually large number of profiles in a short period of time.
  2. Refrain from using LinkedIn while a SalesQL automation is running.
  3. Consider using SalesQL exclusively, rather than installing other extensions that perform similar roles that may affect your LinkedIn limits.

Is there an estimated number of views per LinkedIn account?

The profile views limit for basic LinkedIn accounts is typically around 200 per day.

If you plan to use LinkedIn for recruitment or lead generation and require a higher limit on profile views, we highly recommend upgrading to LinkedIn's Premium account plans, such as Sales Navigator, Recruiter, or Recruiter Lite.

Recommended profile views are 500 per day for Sales Navigator and 1000 per day for Recruiter and Recruiter Lite.

The LinkedIn profile view limits mentioned in this article are not guaranteed. This information is provided for reference purposes only and should not be considered a contract or agreement.

Please keep in mind that LinkedIn may modify these limits at any time, including in response to changes in your behavior patterns on their website. It's important to note that we cannot assume responsibility for any changes made by LinkedIn.

We strongly recommend that you check your profile view limits directly with LinkedIn if you are uncertain about them. 🔍
