The Sales Navigator Alternative

September 6, 2026

Conextly is the Sales Navigator alternative that finds, tracks, and drafts for you — the search you'd pay LinkedIn for, plus the tracking and personal outreach it leaves out. You approve every send.

The Sales Navigator Alternative

Sales Navigator is a great place to find people. Then it stops. You still have to remember who you contacted, notice when someone changes jobs, and write every message from a blank box. Conextly is the Sales Navigator alternative that does all three — find, track, and draft — and keeps you in control of every message that sends.

What Sales Navigator does, and where it ends

Sales Navigator gives you deep search: filter by title, seniority, company, industry, geography, and more, and build lists of the right people. It's genuinely good at that. But finding is one third of prospecting. Sales Navigator has no real pipeline to track who you've reached, no way to draft the outreach, and no help turning a saved lead into a reply. That's the work it hands back to you — and it's the work that actually wins deals.

What Conextly adds

Conextly covers the whole loop:

  • Find — the same kind of deep, Boolean-powered search, on free LinkedIn, Premium, or Sales Navigator. You don't need the paid tier to search like it. See Find.
  • Track — every prospect on a live pipeline, with alerts when someone changes jobs or is due for a follow-up. The thing Sales Navigator never gave you. See Track.
  • Draft & Approve — a personal first message for every prospect, written from their profile, that you approve before it sends. See Draft & Approve.

Same finding power. Plus the tracking and outreach Sales Navigator leaves on the table.

You don't need to pay LinkedIn more

Sales Navigator Core runs around $99/month, and higher tiers climb from there. Conextly gives you Sales-Navigator-style search on whatever LinkedIn plan you already have — including free — and adds the pipeline and drafting on top. For most people it replaces the reason they were paying for Sales Navigator in the first place. (See the guides on Sales Navigator pricing and what it costs.)

Safer than the automation tools

The other "alternatives" to Sales Navigator are automation tools that auto-send templated messages — fast, and a real risk to your account. Conextly is the opposite: personal drafts, your approval on every send, human pacing under LinkedIn's limits. You get more done than you would by hand, without behaving like a bot. See Account Safety.

Who switches to Conextly

  • Founders and salespeople who want pipeline from LinkedIn without paying for search alone.
  • Recruiters sourcing and tracking candidates in one place.
  • Consultants and agencies running personal outreach at a pace that stays safe. See Teams.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Sales Navigator alternative?
It depends on what you need. Sales Navigator is strong at finding people but leaves the tracking and outreach to you. Conextly is a Sales Navigator alternative that covers all three — it finds people with deep Boolean search on free LinkedIn, Premium, or Sales Navigator, tracks them on a live pipeline with job-change alerts, and drafts a personal message for each one that you approve before it sends.
Can I replace Sales Navigator without paying LinkedIn more?
Yes. Conextly gives you Sales-Navigator-style search on whatever LinkedIn plan you already have, including free, and adds a tracking pipeline and message drafting on top. Sales Navigator Core runs around $99/month; for most people Conextly replaces the reason they were paying for it, while adding the outreach it never handled.
How is Conextly different from Sales Navigator?
Sales Navigator finds people and stops there — no pipeline to track outreach, no drafting, no help turning a lead into a reply. Conextly adds a live pipeline with job-change and follow-up alerts, and drafts a personal first message for every prospect that you approve before it sends. Same finding power, plus the two thirds of prospecting Sales Navigator leaves to you.
Is Conextly safer than LinkedIn automation tools?
Yes. The automation tools marketed as Sales Navigator alternatives auto-send templated messages, which risks your account. Conextly drafts personal messages and sends nothing without your approval, at a human pace under LinkedIn's limits. You get more done than by hand without the bulk auto-send that gets accounts flagged.
