Dux-Soup

Overview

Dux-Soup is a LinkedIn automation Chrome extension that automates connection requests, profile visits, endorsements, and messaging sequences to generate leads on LinkedIn.

Designed for solo founders, SDRs, and small teams needing budget-friendly LinkedIn outreach automation starting at $15/month.

Quick Facts:

• Category: LinkedIn Automation
• Pricing: From $15/month (Pro Dux plan)
• Free trial: 14-day trial for Turbo Dux plan
• Risk: 23% of users receive LinkedIn warnings within 90 days

Dux-Soup installs as a Chrome extension and automates LinkedIn prospecting activities including connection requests, profile visits, follows, endorsements, InMails, and message sequences with custom time delays and personalization.

Core Features

• Campaign Chaining: Create sequences chaining up to 12 actions (visit → connect → message → follow-up → endorse) with custom delays between each step
• Multi-LinkedIn Compatibility: Works on regular LinkedIn, Recruiter, and Sales Navigator accounts
• CRM Integrations: Native Salesforce, Pipedrive, HubSpot, and Freshsales integrations to automatically create and update contacts from LinkedIn

Our Take: Dux-Soup is the cheapest LinkedIn automation option at $15-99/month with simple Chrome extension setup, making it appealing for budget-conscious beginners. However, the 23% LinkedIn warning rate within 90 days (8% account restrictions, 3% permanent bans) is concerning. Chrome extension architecture flags actions with isTrusted===false vs Linked Helper's isTrusted===true human-like pattern, increasing detection risk. Users report campaign freezes, message duplication bugs, and browser dependency (must stay open). For similar $15/month price, Linked Helper offers safer desktop app architecture, or spend $99/month for Expandi's cloud-based safety. Only consider Dux-Soup if you're willing to accept LinkedIn account risk for budget pricing.

Campaign Automation with 12-Action Chaining

Dux-Soup lets you chain up to 12 LinkedIn actions in sequences: profile visit → connection request → message → follow-up → endorsement → InMail, with custom time delays between each step and automatic reply detection. Users report completing 500-700 LinkedIn tasks weekly, achieving 45% connection acceptance rates and 2% conversion in some cases.

Browser-Based Chrome Extension

Operates as a Chrome extension installed directly in your browser, requiring only a few clicks to get started. However, this architecture requires Chrome to stay open and laptop awake for campaigns to run (Pro Dux and Turbo Dux plans). The extension's browser actions are flagged with isTrusted===false, which LinkedIn can detect, contributing to the 23% warning rate.

Native CRM Integrations

Connects directly to Salesforce, Pipedrive, HubSpot, Freshsales, and Woodpecker to automatically create and update contacts using LinkedIn profile data. The Dux-Dash analytics dashboard shows profiles enrolled, connection acceptance rates, messages sent, response rates, and qualified leads in funnel flow visualization.

Pricing notes: Annual billing saves 25%. Pro and Turbo require Chrome browser to stay open. Only Cloud Dux runs campaigns without browser.

Best value: Pro Dux ($15/mo) for budget users, but consider Linked Helper ($15/mo desktop app) for safer architecture, or Expandi ($99/mo cloud) for lowest LinkedIn risk.
