Do I need Sales Navigator to use Crispy?
Answered by the Crispy team · June 30, 2026
Quick answer
No. Crispy works fully with a normal LinkedIn account. If you do have Sales Navigator, Crispy picks it up automatically and unlocks deeper search filters at no extra charge, but it is never required to get started.
Plenty of people assume the good stuff is locked behind Sales Navigator. With Crispy it is not. A standard LinkedIn account is enough to search for people, reach out, manage your inbox, and run your outreach.
What you get without it
You can find prospects by role, company, location, and keyword, send connection requests and messages, and let your AI assistant handle the back and forth. For most people, that covers the entire job.
What Sales Navigator adds
If your account already has Sales Navigator, Crispy detects it on its own and switches on the deeper filters it offers, things like seniority, company size, and time in role, plus the ability to message people you are not yet connected to. There is no extra fee on the Crispy side and nothing to set up.
Short version: start today with the account you have. Add Sales Navigator later only if you want the extra targeting.
