Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 9 of the 47 other cold outreach tools we grade
Dux-Soup sells its LinkedIn automation as STACKED, which replaced the earlier Chrome extension plans. It runs drip campaigns of profile views, connection requests, messages and InMails, with lead management and campaign statistics. It runs either as a desktop app on your own machine or in the vendor's cloud, priced per seat.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Dux-Soup, taken from its own pages and our grades.
A desktop app to install, a LinkedIn account to connect and campaigns to build.

The report card
Best for LinkedIn automation from your own computer
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. No phone apps. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Dux-Soup is for
- 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
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- Individuals and agencies running LinkedIn outreach
- Recruiters using LinkedIn Recruiter or Sales Navigator
- Teams that want automation pushed to a CRM
Worth knowing
- 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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Dux-Soup you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 31 of the 47 other cold outreach tools grade higher. It costs $495 a year.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Dux-Soup’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
