Pricing & Billing
4. Is LinkedIn Automation a separate feature, or is it included in Snov.io plans?
LinkedIn Automation works as a standalone solution, available to purchase separately or together with a Sales Suite plan.
When combining LinkedIn Automation + Sales Suite plan, it includes more features: multichannel sequences with LinkedIn and email, Dynamic content and Spintax, account rotation, and exporting campaign metrics.
5. How much does LinkedIn Automation cost? Can I get a discount?
Total cost depends on the number of LinkedIn slots you need (one slot for one connected profile). The standard price is $69 per slot per month.
When purchased together with a plan, or if you already have an active plan subscription, slots cost $59 per month.
You can also get a 10% discount on the price per slot when paying annually. Contact our sales team to activate annual LinkedIn Automation.
6. What are the billing options? Can I get yearly access?
LinkedIn Automation subscription runs independently from your plan subscription: both have their own billing and auto-renewal. Learn more about LinkedIn Automation billing in this article.
LinkedIn Automation is available with Monthly and Annual billing options:
- Monthly LinkedIn Automation is billed every 30 days
- Annual LinkedIn Automation is billed upfront for a 12-month period with a 10% discount on the slot price. To get LinkedIn Automation with annual billing, contact our sales team
7. Can I try LinkedIn Automation for free before purchasing?
Yes. If you haven't used LinkedIn Automation before, you can get a 7-day free trial.
To activate the trial, click Try for free in your LinkedIn Accounts. You'll get one slot with full access to all LinkedIn Automation features.
After the trial period is over, your LinkedIn slot will be automatically extended. You can disable auto-renewal in your Billing settings before the trial ends.
Finding Linkedin prospects
8. How do I find prospects for LinkedIn Automation? Do I need credits for LinkedIn prospects?
When you purchase a LinkedIn Automation subscription separately from a plan, collecting prospects and reaching out to them on LinkedIn does not require credits or recipients from your account balance.
You can find and contact an unlimited number of prospects as long as you are using tools and features for LinkedIn Automation:
- Contacting prospects via the LinkedIn channel only
- LIPF Extension and LinkedIn Search to collect prospects and their LinkedIn URLs, which are required for LinkedIn Automation
To collect prospects for LinkedIn Automation, use the LIPF Extension or LinkedIn Search within the app. Select the "Save without emails" option when using either of these tools. Then, create a sequence that includes LinkedIn actions and choose these prospects for your campaign list.
If you want to run multichannel campaigns with emails + LinkedIn, your LinkedIn Automation account still includes 50 credits and 100 recipients for finding email addresses and contacting prospects via email.
To get the most out of multichannel campaigns, get a Sales Suite plan to combine with LinkedIn Automation.
Account safety & limits
9. Is it safe to use automation for my LinkedIn account?
Using any automation tool carries certain risks. What makes a difference is the amount of attention put into your account's safety.
Our tool keeps your activity within LinkedIn guidelines and ensures it is not detected as suspicious. LinkedIn Automation uses safe daily limits, a warm-up mode, and location-based proxies to mimic your regular activity.
10. Is there a daily/weekly limit for automation actions?
Yes, LinkedIn sets daily and weekly limits on platform activities to ensure fair and meaningful usage.
This policy from LinkedIn directly affects the number of actions you can perform in Snov.io. That's why we apply safe daily limits to your accounts during automation. When doing LinkedIn outreach, use a warm-up approach to gradually increase your actions.
The limits for connection requests and messages are especially strict. Your account may even be restricted for exceeding the weekly invitation limit.
11. Why is my number of actions in automation limited?
LinkedIn limits user activity, especially connection requests and messages, and may restrict users who exceed these limits.
LinkedIn accounts in Snov.io automation operate under safe limits to protect your account and leave room for your manual activities. This ensures that your account never exceeds the action limits and doesn't get blocked.
As your SSI score improves, each account can handle up to 50 actions per day. Connect more profiles and use them in LinkedIn rotation to increase your total limits.
12. Can LinkedIn Automation affect my LinkedIn profile and organic engagement?
If you follow best practices, LinkedIn Automation in Snov.io won't harm your profile — it will gradually grow its engagement.
As a general rule, only increase your daily limits based on your SSI score and work on improving it.
Learn what type of usage can lead to your account being blocked in this guide.
13. How can I improve my SSI score?
The Social Selling Index (SSI) reflects your account's reputation in the LinkedIn network. It grows from quality engagement and consistent activity on the LinkedIn platform.
To boost your SSI score, focus on meaningful interactions, not just activity. This knowledge base article explains what factors improve your SSI score. LinkedIn Automation safely grows your engagement through viewing profiles, following prospects from your list, and liking posts.
Connection
14. Can I connect multiple LinkedIn accounts to Snov.io?
Yes, you can purchase multiple LinkedIn slots and connect a different account to each one — $69/slot on a free plan, or $59/slot with an active paid plan.
Location-based proxies are included for every connection at no extra cost.
To use multiple LinkedIn accounts in rotation within the same campaign, you'll need an active plan from Sales Suite. LinkedIn account rotation is not available on the free plan.
LinkedIn slots are flexible: you pay for the slot, not per account connection. This means you can change the profile connected to the slot up to 3 times a month.
15. Does LinkedIn Automation support account rotation within one campaign?
Yes, you can add up to 5 LinkedIn accounts to a single campaign and distribute recipients among them. The rotation accelerates your outreach and increases the total daily action limit, all while keeping each profile within safe limits.
Learn more about account rotation in LinkedIn campaigns.
16. Do I need to set up proxies and server details myself, or is the proxy included?
LinkedIn Automation includes a dedicated proxy for each of your active slots. The proxy is personalized based on the location you select during account connection.
Campaign metrics
17. Is there a dashboard for tracking replies and other LinkedIn Automation statistics?
While automation is active, monitor recipients who replied, opened, or clicked today or during another timeframe on the LinkedIn Reports dashboard.
In the top filters, select a time period, then click the number of recipients under the reply rate. You can see replies in each prospect's profile, but to respond, go to your LinkedIn profile.
18. Can LinkedIn Automation integrate with other CRMs or tools?
LinkedIn Automation is built to let you manage your LinkedIn outreach fully within Snov.io. There are integration options available for a flexible workflow with other apps or your systems.
CRMs:
Besides Snov.io's built-in CRM, you can sync leads from LinkedIn Automation to your HubSpot or Pipedrive account using native integrations.
Campaign analytics API:
You can access LinkedIn campaign analytics via Snov.io API. For details, check the API documentation.
