Dux-Soup vs HeyReach (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 HeyReach if

• Fits if you run LinkedIn outreach for several clients and spread volume over many accounts
• Works for teams already sending email through Instantly or Smartlead

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want email and LinkedIn in one tool on one bill
• Pricey if every rep sends, at $64 per sender a month billed yearly or $79 monthly
• Tight if you need lots of contact data, as enrichment credits are a one-time 100 per sender on Growth
• Watch out: Agency and Unlimited make you bring your own proxies; only Growth includes one per sender
• Not for you if you want a phone or desktop app, as none is on record

Dux-Soup

• The former Chrome extension plans (Pro, Turbo and Cloud) are no longer sold; STACKED replaced them.
• The local edition needs your computer on to run campaigns; only cloud runs continuously.
• Billing model and seat count are chosen at checkout, and shared team campaigns need two or more seats.
• It automates LinkedIn only; there is no email or phone outreach.

HeyReach

• Each LinkedIn account is a paid sender; teammates, assistants and clients can be added at no charge.
• Agency and Unlimited require you to bring your own proxies; only Growth includes a residential proxy for each sender.
• Email steps run through the Instantly or Smartlead integrations, which are separate subscriptions.
• Enrichment credits are a one-time allowance (100 per sender on Growth); more have to be bought.
