What is Dux-Soup?
Dux-Soup is a LinkedIn automation tool that runs drip campaigns, sends personalized messages and manages leads so you can prospect without doing every step by hand. Its current product is branded STACKED and comes in two versions: a local desktop app for Mac or Windows that runs on your own computer, and a cloud version that runs on Dux-Soup's servers around the clock.
The tool targets individuals, sales teams and agencies that rely on LinkedIn for lead generation. Campaigns can visit profiles, send connection requests and follow up with messages, while AI helps tailor the wording to each prospect. Safety controls such as daily limits, speed throttling and natural activity patterns aim to keep behavior closer to how a person uses LinkedIn.

Dux-Soup FAQ
Is Dux-Soup free?
Dux-Soup does not list a free plan. You can start a free trial from its website, though the trial length is not stated on the pricing page. Paid plans for STACKED local start at $55 per seat per month, or $41.25 per seat per month when billed annually. Volume discounts are available for larger teams.
What is the difference between STACKED local and STACKED cloud?
STACKED local is a desktop app for Mac or Windows that runs campaigns on your own computer, so the machine must be on. STACKED cloud runs on Dux-Soup's infrastructure, works continuously and adds security and account management. Local costs $55 per seat monthly, cloud $99. Both plans include unlimited concurrent campaigns and AI personalization.
Does Dux-Soup integrate with HubSpot and Salesforce?
Yes. Dux-Soup lists native integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Freshsales, HighLevel and SharpSpring, along with Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zapier and Make. That lets you send LinkedIn lead data and activity straight into your CRM or automation workflows. Integrations are included in both the local and cloud versions of STACKED, so CRM-connected outreach does not require the more expensive plan.
Is Dux-Soup good for beginners?
Yes, for the most part. Dux-Soup handles the technical side of LinkedIn outreach and includes safety settings such as daily limits and throttling. Beginners should start with a small campaign and low volumes, write personal messages and learn how acceptance and reply rates respond before scaling up. The unified inbox also makes it easy to keep up with replies as volume grows.

Dux-Soup sells desktop and cloud versions of its STACKED product with many native CRM integrations. Waalaxy is a cloud tool with a Chrome extension, a limited free Freemium version and plans that add email outreach at higher tiers. Waalaxy suits beginners, while Dux-Soup suits CRM-heavy teams.
