Is Village a LinkedIn alternative?

Village complements LinkedIn rather than replacing the network itself. LinkedIn has the biggest graph, but it's manual and gated. Village makes a global graph you can query via API, pool across your team, score, and automate.

Village vs LinkedIn: how does pricing compare?

LinkedIn is free, with Sales Navigator from ~$120/mo for search and TeamLink. Village is free to start, then $79/$149/mo, with a public relationship-graph API.

Does Village use LinkedIn data?

Village runs on its own pre-built verified graph, so warm-path discovery doesn't depend on whose LinkedIn accounts are connected. It also surfaces ties beyond LinkedIn's visible network.

Village vs LinkedIn

Comparison · Updated June 2026

The short version

LinkedIn has the largest professional graph on earth, over a billion members, and it shows you the mutual connection for free. Then it hands you the work: find the path by browsing, ask by hand, and pay for Sales Navigator before your team's connections pool at all. Village turns an open, queryable global graph into a team-pooled, warm-path-scored intro workflow you can run in the app or over an API.

Why teams pick Village over LinkedIn

Village is queryable through a public API and pools your team automatically. LinkedIn's bigger graph sits behind a gated Partner Program and is browsed by hand.
Village scores the warm path, screens the person and sends the sequence. LinkedIn leaves the asking to you, and TeamLink only reveals paths on paid Sales Navigator.
Village surfaces past-coworker, alumni and investor ties that LinkedIn's visible connections don't show.

When LinkedIn is the better pick

Choose LinkedIn if you want unmatched raw reach and are happy to find and ask for every intro manually (LinkedIn, or Sales Navigator for search + TeamLink).

Where LinkedIn is strong

The largest professional graph in the world, at over a billion members.
Free tier already shows mutual connections for manual asks.
TeamLink (Sales Navigator) pools licensed teammates' connections.
