Dux-Soup vs Expandi (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Dux-Soup if

• Fits if LinkedIn is the one channel you work and you have one person doing it
• Works for teams already on HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want email or phone outreach too, since it's LinkedIn only
• Not for you if your computer can't stay on: the local version stops when it does
• Pricey if you want cloud, at $74.17 a seat on yearly billing
• Watch out: the old Chrome extension plans are gone, and monthly billing is $55 and $99

Pick Expandi if

• Fits if your outreach is mostly LinkedIn and you want it to run from the cloud with no browser left open
• Works for teams that log LinkedIn activity to HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're a team of five, at $79 a seat a month billed annually or $99 monthly
• Skip it if you want full cold email campaigns in the same tool, as email is limited to follow-ups
• Tight if you're trying it out, as there's no free plan and the trial lasts only 7 days
• Watch out: personalized images and GIFs cost extra, and video messages need a paid Sendspark add-on
• Watch out: it's web only, and more than 10 seats or white labeling are priced by sales
