Dux-Soup Review — LinkedIn Automation Tool

Dux-Soup is a Chrome extension that automates LinkedIn prospecting activities including profile visiting, connection requests, and messaging. As one of the earliest LinkedIn automation tools on the market, it has built a loyal user base among sales professionals who want a straightforward way to scale their LinkedIn outreach.

The core workflow is simple: define a LinkedIn search or Sales Navigator list, and Dux-Soup will automatically visit each profile, optionally send connection requests with personalized notes, and follow up with message sequences. The profile visiting feature is strategically valuable because it triggers LinkedIn notifications that prompt prospects to view your profile in return.

Dux-Soup runs entirely within your Chrome browser, which has both advantages and drawbacks. Setup is quick since there is no separate platform to configure, and the tool operates using your actual LinkedIn session. However, this means your browser must remain open and active for automations to run, unlike cloud-based alternatives that operate independently.

The drip campaign feature lets you create multi-step sequences that combine connection requests, follow-up messages, and InMails. Personalization tags pull in prospect details like first name, company, and job title. You can set delays between steps and the tool will skip prospects who have already replied.

LinkedIn safety controls are built in, with configurable daily limits for visits, connections, and messages. However, because Dux-Soup operates through the browser DOM rather than mimicking more natural browsing patterns, LinkedIn can detect aggressive usage. Conservative settings are recommended to protect your account.

Pricing starts at $14.99 per month for the Pro plan, making it one of the most affordable LinkedIn automation options. The Turbo plan at $55 per month adds full campaign automation and CRM integrations.
