Dux-Soup
The decade-old LinkedIn automator with a browser and a cloud edition
Dux-Soup is a LinkedIn automation tool that started as a Chrome extension driving your own browser session and now sells three editions: Pro at $14.99 for basic invites and messaging, Turbo at $55 adding drip campaigns and a central inbox, and Cloud at $99 which moves execution onto managed always-on infrastructure, with team and agency plans built on the same editions.
Overview
Dux-Soup is the elder statesman of this category. It launched in 2015, celebrated ten years in 2025, claims more than 300,000 users, and is operated by Supertec BV, a Dutch entity founded by Will van der Sanden. In a market where tools are removed by LinkedIn enforcement every year, a decade of continuous operation is not a small claim, and it is the single strongest argument for buying it.
The product's structure is unusual and is the thing to understand before you compare prices. Dux-Soup is not one product at three price points; it is three genuinely different execution models. Pro at $14.99 and Turbo at $55 are browser extensions that drive LinkedIn in your own Chrome session from your own IP address, which means they stop when you close the browser. Cloud at $99 runs the same automation on managed infrastructure that stays on. Most vendors force you to choose an architecture when you choose a vendor. Dux-Soup lets you start in the browser cheaply and move to the cloud when the browser-open constraint starts costing you, without changing tools or rebuilding campaigns.
Feature depth follows the same ladder. Pro gives you invitations with personalized notes, messaging to first-degree connections, profile visits, post likes, tagging, an activity log, four safety controls, and CSV export. Turbo is the real product: unlimited drip campaigns, campaign statistics, a lead management dashboard, a central inbox, contact management, and the native CRM integrations. Cloud is Turbo plus always-on managed execution. The jump from $14.99 to $55 is large in percentage terms and entirely justified in capability terms, and buyers who compare Dux-Soup's entry price to a competitor's full product are comparing the wrong things.
The integration list is quietly the best in the category for a tool this old: native connectors to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Freshsales, SharpSpring, and HighLevel, plus Slack and Microsoft Teams for notifications, Zapier and Make for everything else, an API, and native hooks into Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini for message generation. HighLevel in particular signals the same agency audience that Closely courts, and Microsoft Teams support is unusual enough to matter if your company runs on it.
Best for
Buyers who want a long-established vendor with a genuine upgrade path, starting at $14.99 in the browser and moving to $99 cloud execution when unattended running becomes necessary, and teams whose CRM is HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Freshsales, SharpSpring, or HighLevel and who want a native connector rather than a Zapier bridge.
Not the right fit for
- Anyone comparing on headline price alone; the $14.99 Pro edition has no campaigns, no inbox, and no CRM integrations, so the honest entry price for a working outreach tool is $55.
- Agencies who need to operate client accounts without touching the client's browser; only the Cloud editions solve this, and at $99 per seat the economics are worse than Aimfox or HeyReach at scale.
- Teams that need multichannel email in the same sequence; Dux-Soup is LinkedIn-only and has no email finder or email sending of its own.
- Buyers who want the safety-first marketing posture of a dedicated country-matched residential IP per account; Dux-Soup's browser editions use your own IP by design and its Cloud edition does not lead with that claim.
- Anyone who wants a modern interface; ten years of accumulated product shows, and the experience feels like a mature tool rather than a new one.
How it works
- 1
On Pro and Turbo you install the Chrome extension and log into LinkedIn normally. Dux-Soup drives your live session in your own browser, from your own IP, with your own fingerprint. LinkedIn sees the same login it always sees, which removes an entire class of detection signal that cloud tools have to engineer around. The cost of that is absolute: nothing runs when Chrome is closed.
- 2
On Cloud, the same automation runs on Dux-Soup's managed infrastructure with monitoring, so campaigns continue overnight and across time zones with your machine off. This is the edition to buy if the browser-open constraint is what is limiting you, and it is why the ladder exists.
- 3
Audiences come from LinkedIn or Sales Navigator search results scanned in the browser, or CSV import. Turbo and above run those lists through drip campaigns: a visit, a personalized invitation, then a sequence of follow-up messages at intervals, with replies stopping the sequence and tags organizing the pipeline in the lead management dashboard.
- 4
Replies land in the central inbox on Turbo and Cloud, contacts sync natively to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Freshsales, SharpSpring, or HighLevel, notifications fire into Slack or Microsoft Teams, and Zapier, Make, or the API cover anything else. AI connectors to Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini generate message copy from profile context.
Feature breakdown
24 features in 4 modulesCore LinkedIn actions
Available from the $14.99 Pro edition upward.- Personalized connection invitations
- Invites carrying a note built from profile variables, sent in bulk from a scanned search or an imported list.
- Messaging first-degree connections
- Bulk messaging to your existing network, which costs nothing against LinkedIn's weekly invite allowance and is the lowest-risk campaign available.
- Automated profile visits
- Visits at a controlled rate to trigger the who-viewed-your-profile notification as a soft first touch.
- Post likes as a warm-up action
- Engages with a prospect's recent activity before contacting them, generating a notification without consuming an invite.
- Profile tagging and notes
- Tag and annotate profiles as you go, so segmentation happens during prospecting rather than in a spreadsheet afterwards.
- Activity log
- A record of every action taken and when, which is the first thing you check if LinkedIn issues a warning and the evidence you need to adjust your rates.
- CSV export
- Scanned profile data leaves in a standard file at any time, which is the base protection against ever being trapped in the tool.
Campaigns and pipeline
The Turbo edition at $55, and the reason the entry price is misleading.- Unlimited drip campaigns
- Multi-step sequences with configurable delays between steps and reply detection halting the sequence, with no cap on how many campaigns run.
- Central inbox
- Replies collected in one place with context rather than scattered through LinkedIn's own messaging, which is the difference between a sender and a workflow tool.
- Lead management dashboard
- A pipeline view of where each prospect sits, with tags and statuses, functioning as a lightweight CRM for people who do not want to sync to a real one.
- Campaign statistics
- Acceptance rate, reply rate, and step-level performance per campaign so you can tell which message actually works.
- Contact management
- Persistent contact records that accumulate across campaigns, with duplicate protection so the same person is not worked twice.
- AI message generation
- Native connections to Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini for generating personalized message copy from profile context, which is a more open approach than vendors who lock you to one model.
Execution models
Three architectures under one subscription ladder, which no other vendor here offers.- Browser extension execution
- Pro and Turbo drive LinkedIn in your own Chrome session from your own IP with your own browser fingerprint. No session cookie leaves your machine and there is no datacentre login for LinkedIn to notice.
- Cloud execution
- The Cloud editions run the same automation on managed always-on infrastructure with vendor monitoring, so campaigns continue overnight and with your machine off.
- Upgrade path without changing vendors
- Start in the browser at $14.99, move to campaigns at $55, move to always-on at $99, keeping your data, campaigns, and integrations throughout. Every other vendor here forces an architecture choice at purchase.
- Four built-in safety controls
- Rate throttling, randomized delays, working-hours scheduling, and daily action ceilings, present from the Pro edition rather than gated behind a premium tier.
- Managed monitoring on Cloud
- The vendor watches the running instance rather than leaving a stalled campaign to be discovered by you three days later.
Integrations
Genuinely the best native connector list in this category.- Native HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive
- Direct connectors rather than Zapier bridges, syncing LinkedIn activity and contacts into the CRM as it happens.
- Native Freshsales and SharpSpring
- Two mid-market CRMs most competitors ignore entirely, which matters a great deal if that is what your business runs on.
- Native HighLevel
- The agency CRM of choice for a large slice of the small-business services market, supported directly.
- Slack and Microsoft Teams
- Campaign responses and notifications routed into your team's actual chat tool. Teams support is uncommon here and useful for Microsoft-centric companies.
- Zapier and Make
- No-code workflow builders covering everything the native list misses.
- API
- A documented API surface for partners and custom integrations, which is your insurance policy for getting data out on your own terms.
Use cases
4 documentedConsultant testing LinkedIn outreach for the first time
Not yet convinced the channel works, unwilling to pay platform prices to find out, but wanting a tool that will still be there in two years if it does.
Pro at $14.99 with a 14-day free trial proves the channel from the browser, and Turbo at $55 becomes an obvious upgrade once acceptance rates justify running real campaigns.
Sales team running HubSpot
LinkedIn conversations are invisible to the CRM, so the pipeline record is incomplete and the manager has no idea which reps are prospecting.
The native HubSpot connector pushes LinkedIn activity and contacts into the CRM automatically, and Slack or Teams notifications surface replies where the team already works.
Solo operator whose campaigns keep stalling overnight
The browser edition works well but the laptop closes at 6pm, prospects in other time zones are missed, and campaigns take twice as long as planned.
Cloud Dux at $99 moves the same campaigns onto always-on managed infrastructure with monitoring, without changing tools or rebuilding sequences.
Small agency using HighLevel for client delivery
Client reporting lives in HighLevel and a LinkedIn tool that cannot feed it means manual data entry every week.
The native HighLevel connector syncs LinkedIn outcomes into the client's existing workspace, and the Cloud Agency plan at $371 covers five client seats under one dashboard.
Pricing
from $14.99 per month (Pro Dux), or $11.25 per month billed annuallyPer-user edition pricing across three capability levels, each available as an individual, team, or agency plan, with the edition determining both feature depth and execution model.
| Plan | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Pro Dux | $14.99 per user per month ($11.25 billed annually) |
No drip campaigns, no inbox, no CRM integrations. Useful for basic prospecting, not a complete outreach tool. |
| Turbo Dux | $55 per user per month ($41.25 billed annually) |
The honest entry price for a working LinkedIn outreach tool. Still a browser extension, so it stops when Chrome closes. |
| Cloud Dux | $99 per user per month ($74.17 billed annually) |
Buy this when the browser-open constraint is what is limiting your results, not before. |
| Turbo Team and Cloud Team | $55 and $99 per seat per month ($41.25 and $74.17 billed annually) |
The volume discount ladder is where team pricing actually becomes competitive; ask for the tier table before committing. |
| Cloud Agency | $371 per month for five or more client seats |
About $74 per account at five seats, which is competitive with cloud rivals but well above Aimfox's twenty-seat economics. |
Add-ons
- LinkedIn Sales Navigator (Roughly $99 per user per month, paid to LinkedIn): Not required. Dux-Soup scans ordinary LinkedIn search results, so a free or Premium LinkedIn account is a workable setup.
Billing notes
- Annual billing takes roughly 25 percent off across every edition, bringing Pro to $11.25, Turbo to $41.25, and Cloud to $74.17 per month.
- Team plans carry tiered volume discounts advertised up to 50 percent, which materially changes the arithmetic above a handful of seats and is not reflected in the headline per-seat price.
- Modelled for one user, a realistic working setup is Turbo at $55 per month with a free LinkedIn account, so $55 all in. Adding Sales Navigator takes it to roughly $154, but unlike most cloud competitors Dux-Soup genuinely does not need it.
- Modelled for a five-account agency, Cloud Agency is $371 per month, about $74 per account. That is more than double Aimfox's twenty-seat rate but includes always-on managed infrastructure per account and a single dashboard.
- The $14.99 headline price is widely quoted in comparisons and is misleading, because Pro has no campaigns, no inbox, and no integrations. Compare Turbo at $55 against competitors, not Pro.
- The 14-day trial requires no credit card, so evaluating any edition costs nothing.
Value assessment: Turbo at $55 is fair rather than cheap: you get unlimited drip campaigns, a central inbox, a lead dashboard, and the best native CRM connector list in the category, from a vendor with ten years of history, in exchange for accepting that campaigns only run while your browser is open. Cloud at $99 removes that constraint and is priced at the top of what a single-account tool can justify, since Closely covers three accounts for $127 and Aimfox covers twenty for $499. The place Dux-Soup wins decisively is the upgrade path: no other vendor lets you start at $14.99 in the browser and end at managed cloud execution without changing tools, and for a buyer who genuinely does not know yet how far this channel will go, that optionality is worth paying for.
Strengths & limitations
Strengths
- Ten years of continuous operation and over 300,000 claimed users, which in a category where LinkedIn enforcement regularly removes vendors is the strongest available evidence of durability.
- Three execution models under one ladder, so you can start in the browser and move to managed cloud execution without changing vendors or rebuilding campaigns.
- The best native CRM connector list here: HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Freshsales, SharpSpring, and HighLevel directly, not through a Zapier bridge.
- Slack and Microsoft Teams notifications, with Teams support being genuinely uncommon in this category.
- Model-agnostic AI: native connections to Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini for message generation rather than a single locked-in provider.
- The browser editions act from your own IP and browser fingerprint and never place a LinkedIn session credential on a vendor server, which removes the login-location risk cloud tools carry.
- No Sales Navigator requirement, so total cost of ownership can genuinely be $55 a month for a working setup.
- A 14-day trial with no credit card, plus published prices and self-serve signup on every edition including agency.
Limitations
- The $14.99 Pro edition is not a complete outreach tool. No drip campaigns, no inbox, no CRM integrations, which makes the headline price a poor guide to what you will actually pay.
- Pro and Turbo stop the moment Chrome closes. If unattended running matters, you are on the $99 Cloud edition and comparing against a very different set of competitors.
- No email finder, no email sending, and no multichannel sequencing at all. LinkedIn is the whole product.
- Cloud at $99 per seat is expensive against multi-account cloud rivals, and Cloud Agency at $371 for five accounts is roughly triple Aimfox's per-account rate at twenty seats.
- The vendor does not lead with a dedicated country-matched residential IP claim for its Cloud edition the way Expandi and SalesRobot do, so buyers evaluating cloud execution on safety grounds should ask specifically how the IP is handled.
- The interface shows its age, and the edition structure (Pro, Turbo, Cloud, each with individual, team, and agency variants) takes real effort to navigate before you understand what you are buying.
- Feature velocity is slower than newer entrants; voice messages, event-attendee extraction, and AI appointment agents that competitors ship are not part of the product.
Head-to-head comparisons
5 alternativesDux-Soup vs Octopus CRM
from $9.99 per month (Starter)The two cheap browser extensions, and the honest comparison is between Octopus Unlimited at $39.99 and Dux-Soup Turbo at $55. Octopus is simpler and cheaper with a funnel builder but no inbox and only Zapier plus HubSpot for integration. Dux-Soup adds a central inbox, a lead dashboard, six native CRM connectors, and an upgrade path to cloud execution. Take Octopus for the cheapest possible working setup; take Dux-Soup if you want somewhere to grow into.
Full Dux-Soup vs Octopus CRM comparisonDux-Soup vs PhantomBuster
from $69 per month (Start), or $56 per month billed annuallyDifferent jobs that get confused constantly. PhantomBuster is a cloud extraction platform with excellent data plumbing and indifferent sending; Dux-Soup is an outreach tool with a proper inbox, campaigns, and CRM sync but no scraping pipeline or non-LinkedIn sources. Many teams run both: PhantomBuster to build and enrich the list, Dux-Soup Turbo to work it. If you must pick one, pick by whether your bottleneck is data or conversations.
Full Dux-Soup vs PhantomBuster comparisonDux-Soup vs Kanbox
from $20 per month (Starter), or $10 per month billed annuallyBoth are extension-based tools with a pipeline view, but Kanbox is French with EU data residency, a Kanban CRM front end, and an entry price of $20, while Dux-Soup is Dutch-operated with a deeper native CRM connector list and a genuine cloud upgrade path. Choose Kanbox for EU residency and the visual pipeline; choose Dux-Soup for CRM integration depth and the ability to move to always-on execution later.
Full Dux-Soup vs Kanbox comparisonDux-Soup vs Linked Helper
from $15/mo (Standard, local storage, monthly billing)The closest philosophical relative: both are veteran, technically-minded tools that run outside the cloud. Linked Helper is a desktop application with its own controlled browser, deeper automation, and a built-in CRM, at roughly $15 to $45 a month, but it demands more setup and lives on your machine. Dux-Soup is easier to run, better integrated with mainstream CRMs, and offers a cloud edition Linked Helper does not. Pick Linked Helper for maximum capability per dollar if you enjoy configuration; pick Dux-Soup for integrations and the cloud path.
Full Dux-Soup vs Linked Helper comparisonDux-Soup vs Meet Alfred
from $29/user/mo (Basic, billed annually)Meet Alfred is a cloud multichannel tool that adds email and Twitter steps to LinkedIn sequences and prices with team plans in mind. Dux-Soup is LinkedIn-only but has the better CRM connector list and a much longer track record. Take Meet Alfred if multichannel sequencing in one tool is the requirement; take Dux-Soup if LinkedIn is the channel and vendor longevity plus native CRM sync is what you are optimizing for.
Full Dux-Soup vs Meet Alfred comparisonImplementation & onboarding
- Setup time
- Twenty minutes for Pro or Turbo: install the extension, open LinkedIn, run a search, scan the results, and start a campaign. Cloud editions add an account provisioning step handled by the vendor and take a day or so to be fully live.
- Learning curve
- Moderate, and mostly caused by the edition structure rather than the software. Understanding which of Pro, Turbo, and Cloud you need, in individual, team, or agency form, takes longer than learning to build a campaign. The campaign builder itself is conventional and the documentation is mature.
- Onboarding
- Self-serve on every edition with a 14-day no-credit-card trial. Agency customers get help with account provisioning. There is a large accumulated library of documentation and third-party tutorials because the tool is a decade old.
- Migration notes
- Lists import by CSV and native CRM connectors mean most teams sync contacts from day one rather than migrating later. On the way out, CSV export covers prospect data, the API and CRM sync cover conversation outcomes, and messages already sent remain in LinkedIn's own inbox. The browser editions carry the least exit risk of anything in this category, because the automation ran on your own machine and the record of what it did lives in LinkedIn and in your CRM rather than only inside vendor infrastructure. Cloud editions concentrate more state at the vendor, so wire the CRM sync up on day one if you buy Cloud.
Platform, API & security
- Platforms
- Google Chrome extension (Pro and Turbo editions)Managed cloud execution (Cloud editions)Web dashboard for campaigns, inbox, and reporting
- API
- A documented API is offered alongside native CRM connectors, Zapier, and Make, giving several independent paths for getting data out.
- Compliance
- GDPR (operated by a Dutch entity subject to EU data protection law)
- Data residency
- Operated by Supertec BV, a Netherlands entity. Customer-selectable regions are not advertised.
- SSO
- Not advertised on published tiers.
- Security notes
- The browser editions have a real security advantage: automation runs in your own Chrome session, from your own IP, and no LinkedIn session credential is placed on vendor infrastructure. The Cloud editions necessarily reverse that, since the vendor must hold a session to run the account for you, and Dux-Soup does not lead with a per-account dedicated country-matched IP claim in the way Expandi and SalesRobot do. If you are buying Cloud specifically for safety reasons, ask directly how the IP is assigned per account before committing.

Frequently asked questions
10 questionsWhat is Dux-Soup?
Dux-Soup is a LinkedIn automation tool that has been running since 2015. It comes in three editions: Pro at $14.99 for invitations, messaging, visits and likes; Turbo at $55 adding unlimited drip campaigns, a central inbox, a lead dashboard, and native CRM integrations; and Cloud at $99, which runs the same automation on managed always-on infrastructure instead of in your browser.
How much does Dux-Soup really cost?
The honest answer is $55, not $14.99. Pro at $14.99 has no drip campaigns, no inbox, and no CRM integrations, so most buyers need Turbo at $55 for a working outreach tool, or Cloud at $99 if campaigns must run with the browser closed. Annual billing takes roughly 25 percent off. Team plans carry volume discounts up to 50 percent, and Cloud Agency is $371 per month for five or more client seats.
Can Dux-Soup get my LinkedIn account restricted?
Yes. Automating LinkedIn violates LinkedIn's user agreement whichever tool you use, and accounts are warned, restricted, and permanently banned regularly. Dux-Soup ships four safety controls (rate throttling, randomized delays, working-hours scheduling, and daily ceilings) from the cheapest edition, and the browser editions act from your own IP and fingerprint, which removes the foreign-datacentre-login signal entirely. That makes it one of the lower-risk architectures here, but the limits are still yours to set sensibly. Stay well inside LinkedIn's roughly 100 invitations per week allowance.
Does Dux-Soup work when my computer is off?
Only on the Cloud editions. Pro and Turbo are Chrome extensions that drive your live browser session, so they stop when Chrome closes or the machine sleeps. Cloud Dux at $99 per month moves execution onto managed infrastructure with vendor monitoring so campaigns run overnight and across time zones. This upgrade path within one vendor is Dux-Soup's most distinctive structural advantage.
Do I need LinkedIn Sales Navigator?
No. Dux-Soup scans ordinary LinkedIn search results and accepts CSV imports, so a free or Premium LinkedIn account is a genuinely workable setup. That matters for total cost: many cloud competitors effectively assume a $99 per month Sales Navigator seat on top of their own price, whereas a complete Dux-Soup setup can be $55 all in.
Which CRMs does Dux-Soup integrate with?
Native connectors cover HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Freshsales, SharpSpring, and HighLevel, with Slack and Microsoft Teams for notifications and Zapier, Make, and an API for everything else. Freshsales, SharpSpring, and HighLevel in particular are ignored by most competitors, so if your business runs on one of them Dux-Soup may be the only tool here that connects without a bridge.
What does Dux-Soup cost for a five-account agency?
Cloud Agency is $371 per month for five or more client seats, which is about $74 per account, and includes always-on managed infrastructure per account plus a single dashboard across unlimited client accounts. That is competitive against other cloud tools at five accounts, but it is roughly triple what Aimfox charges per account on its twenty-seat plan, so agencies planning to grow past ten accounts should model alternatives.
What happens to my campaign data if Dux-Soup shuts down or LinkedIn blocks it?
You are better protected than with most tools here, especially on the browser editions. Prospect data exports as CSV, native CRM connectors mean contacts and outcomes usually already live in HubSpot or Pipedrive rather than only in Dux-Soup, and every message sent stays in LinkedIn's own inbox. The Cloud editions concentrate more state at the vendor, so if you buy Cloud, configure CRM sync in your first week rather than treating it as a later project.
Is Dux-Soup still actively maintained?
Yes. It is one of the few genuinely long-lived vendors in this category: founded in 2015, ten years of operation marked in 2025, over 300,000 claimed users, current pricing and documentation, and an active integration roadmap that recently added AI message generation through Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. Feature velocity is slower than newer entrants, but abandonment is not a concern here in the way it is with several competitors.
Who owns Dux-Soup?
Dux-Soup is operated by Supertec BV, a Netherlands entity, and was founded in 2015 by Will van der Sanden, who came from a software development and enterprise data integration background. There is no disclosed institutional funding; the company appears to have grown on revenue. Being an EU-registered company also means it operates under GDPR, which some buyers will treat as a meaningful advantage over vendors registered in free zones with no published leadership.
Editorial verdict
Dux-Soup is the safe, unglamorous choice, and there is a real argument for making it. It has survived a decade of LinkedIn enforcement, it has the best native CRM connector list in the category by some distance, its browser editions act from your own IP without ever handing a session credential to a vendor, and it needs no Sales Navigator seat, so a complete working setup is $55 a month. Above all, it is the only vendor here that lets you start cheap in the browser and move to managed always-on cloud execution without changing tools. What you give up is modernity and scale economics: there is no email channel, no event extraction, no voice messages, the interface shows its age, and Cloud Agency at $371 for five accounts is expensive next to Aimfox or HeyReach. Buy Turbo at $55 if LinkedIn is your channel, your CRM is on the native list, and you value a vendor that will still exist in three years. Ignore the $14.99 headline; it is not the product you want.
