Dux-Soup automates LinkedIn: profile views, connection requests, messages and InMails in drip campaigns. The local version is $41.25 a seat a month on yearly billing, but your computer has to stay on. Only the cloud version, at $74.17, runs without it, and it does nothing outside LinkedIn. - **Value for money: C.** $41.25 a seat a month on yearly billing for local, $74.17 for cloud. The category's middle is $39 and the cloud plan climbs past the dearer quarter at $50. - **Free plan and trial: D.** 14-day free trial, with no card rule stated and no free plan. - **Features: C.** Drip campaigns, AI personalization and stats on LinkedIn only. It does that job fully, but there is no email or phone outreach. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. A desktop app to install, a LinkedIn account to connect and campaigns to build. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Mac and Windows app plus web, with Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zapier and Make.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $495 a year. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
